April 19 2023 Indigenous Connections Field Trip With Ms. England :) Be prepped to be outside!!!

Our first stop will be the viewing platform at the Revelstoke Forestry Museum to observe and discuss the Revelstoke Dam and how the Columbia River dam system has impacted the Sinixt Nation, Boat Encampment, and the salmon runs. We will then carry on (by bus) to the boat launch to have a fire and a story. :)
