The Osoyoos Indian Band, (NK'MIP), was formed on November 21, 1877. As part of the Okanagan Nation, these are a strong, independent and proud people with a rich heritage. The Indian Band has always been progressive. From the early years of ranching, trading and small farms the people have continued to change with the times. Now, huge vineyards sprawl across these lands, businesses are being invited to call this home and the people have become business oriented. The Band manages businesses with annual budgets in excess of $l4 million dollars and administers its own health, social, educational and municipal services. The Osoyoos Indian Band Membership is approximately 400, with the majority of the Band Members living on the Osoyoos Indian Reservation. Improvements and modernization are everywhere. During recent years new home construction on the reserve has been swift with growth matching the rest of the South Okanagan each year. The Nk'Mip Desert & Heritage Centre, located in Osoyoos British Columbia, celebrates thousands of years of Okanagan First Nations habitation on desert lands. The Nk'Mip Desert lands are one of Canada's three most endangered ecosystems and are home to many endangered plant and animal species. The Centre provides on-site cultural tours, programs and interactive displays reflecting the unique and contemporary experience of a desert centre based on the rich heritage of the Okanagan people. The mission of the Nk'Mip Desert & Heritage Centre is to promote respect and understanding of the living culture of the Okanagan People and conserve and interpret Canada's only desert.
