Today we honor National Indigenous Peoples Day by exploring the Creation Story of the Ktunaxa Nation.

The Yaqan Nukiy is one of four Canadian and 2 USA bands which make up the Ktunaxa Nation (pronounced ‘k-too-nah-ha’). The other 4 Canadian Bands formed the Upper Kootenay portion of the Ktunaxa and are all located in British Columbia – Akisqnuk near Windermere, Aqam near Cranbrook, and To***co Plains near Grasmere. The USA Bands are called tribes and are the Confederated Salish Kootenai near Elmo, Montana, and Kootenay Tribe of Idaho at Bonner’s Ferry.

In ancestral times referred to by the Ktunaxa as the animal world, there were references made many times by the Creator to when there will be ʔaqⱡmaknik̓ (people).

We were privileged to host Darcy Roshau of Cedar and Pine Design a talented Ktunaxa artist from the To***co Plains community, whose remarkable skills and creativity brought this stunning mural to life for us in Ainsworth.

We deeply appreciate Darcy's dedication and the cultural richness she shared through her art. She has truly created a magical art piece for everyone to enjoy.
