We will be closed for INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY!
Most of us will be doing something Indigenous on that day.

Please see below for a local event if you want to join in the festivities...

The Ooknakane Friendship Centre, in collaboration with the Penticton Indian Band, the South Okanagan Similkameen Metis Association, and the City of Penticton, is proud to announce the event.

"We are honoured to host this celebration and invite everyone to join us in recognizing the importance of Indigenous Peoples Day. This day is an opportunity for all of us to come together, learn, and celebrate the vibrant cultures and traditions of Indigenous communities,” said Shauna Fox, executive director of the Ooknakane Friendship Centre, in a press release issued Tuesday.

The event will take place at Okanagan Lake Park on June 21 and will "feature a variety of activities and entertainment that honour and celebrate the rich cultures and traditions of Indigenous peoples."

Celebrations begin at 1 p.m. with opening prayers and greetings, setting "a respectful and inclusive tone for the day."

The event will be a multi-faceted showcase of Indigenous entertainment, including traditional music, dance, and storytelling, throughout the afternoon.

May 5 is Red Dress Day, a day to remember and honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples (MMIWG2S+). Red Dress Day serves as a painful reminder of the ongoing genocidal crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people and invites solidarity and action.
We remember all our missing.

We are currently eating half a cariboo and snacking on snacky snacks.
We are not so much "working" as we are celebrating the season of snacky snacks.
We are in the office today but we are planning our escapes.

Thank you for buying our books, talking about our books and reading our books.
Now the whole elf crew is going wild on snacky snacks today and will run home to our hobbit holes.

Until next year take care.
See you all in 2024!

Our good friends at Muskrat Magazine need your help.
Please share this message with people who love Indigenous Art, Music and want to support.

*****************************************************************
Protest the Meta news ban and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn, make MUSKRATMagazine.com your landing page and share our monthly newsletter with your friends and family and encourage them to sign up.

Since the passing of the Online News Act in Canada, Meta (umbrella corporation for Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and others) has banned all Canadian news links from being shared on their platforms. Not only can we no longer share links, but our entire Canadian audience on both Facebook and Instagram are no longer able to see anything we post to our profiles, even if it is non-news related.

MUSKRAT needs your help so we can keep connected to each other and the Indigenous arts community. Meta has wrongly labeled us as a ‘News Outlet’ and severely limited our reach. We have spent well over 10 years building an audience for our free online Indigenous arts and culture magazine, as well as feeding money to Facebook and now Meta through paid advertisements for our free community based storytelling events, as well as the ads that appear on our page without the choice or consent from MUSKRAT.

As a result, MUSKRAT is seeking different avenues to reach out—LinkedIn, Twitter, and direct e-newsletters to our list of subscribers. We are hoping you can help by sharing this email and inviting your friends who love Indigenous storytelling to receive our unique, culture based, beautiful and inspiring content.
