About En'owkin Centre
Located on the Penticton Indian Reserve in the beautiful territory of the Nsyilxcen speaking people, the Syilx. The unique building design reflects a traditional Syilx winter home. It is a gathering place where family, friends and community come to explore, educate, celebrate and replenish themselves spiritually. The En'owkin Centre is a teaching place where story, cooperation, education and artistry come together.
The word En'owkin is an Okanagan conceptual metaphor which describes a process of clarification, conflict resolution and group commitment. We focus on coming to the best solutions possible, through respectful dialogue literally through consensus.
En'owkin provides students with a strong cultural and academic foundation for success in further post-secondary studies. 
Many former En'owkin students have gone on to become National and Internationally accomplished writers, artists and educators. They have achieved graduate degrees, accolades and are leaders in their communities.
The En'owkin Centre hosts many regional, national and International Indigenous conferences and forums students have access to these networking activities and are always encouraged to participate. We hope that you will join us as a guest, student or friend!
Our faculty and staff are friendly and helpful. It is our responsibility to treat you as an honored guest while you are at our centre while in our territory. Our home is your home while you are a guest at En'owkin
