The Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos, British Columbia offers hands-on, interactive exhibits that help visitors share in the living culture of the Okanagan people and discover Canada's only desert ecosystem. Facilities include the Pithouse Theatre, where a multi-sensory experience recreates life in a traditional winter home, and the Chaptik Legend Theatre, which shows daily screenings of a film about a young woman who reconnects with her roots while visiting her grandparents on the reservation. Outdoor attractions include an art gallery that features artwork depicting local legends and the Living Lands garden. Here, visitors can dig for artifacts or take part in storytelling in a traditional tule mat teepee and, on the surrounding self-guided trails, explore one of the most endangered ecosystems in the country.
