"FROM THE SPIRIT" - presents an incredible diverse group of Aboriginal artists from Alberta, British Columbia and Northwest Territories. Artists, by definition are people who live “on the edge” and Native artists have had a tougher journey than most. These stories are inspirational, they are all stories of people who would not quit even, sometimes, in the face of terrific adversity. These are people who have made a difference, in their own lives, to the lives of others and to the Art World.

PLACE: SOUTH OKANAGAN EVENTS CENTRE – OFFICIAL OLYMPIC STAGE
The En'owkin Centre celebrated the Olympic Torch on Monday January 25, 2010.

Based on the Olympic dream of the athletes who are traveling from all parts of the world, five inspirational words were translated from the Nsyilxcen Language.
EN'OWKIN CENTRE ARTIST OF THE MONTH
JOHN TERBASKET - SINGER, Traditional/ Contemporary
John Terbasket is a member of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band from the Okanagan Nation. Currently enrolled in his second year of En'owkin Centre's signature program, National Aboriginal Professional Artist Training, he has been further developing his professional portfolio and his film, performance and marketing skills.
John has been introduced to and is still an active participant in the powwow circuit as one of the singers for the well traveled and often requested drum group "High water". This aspect of a cultural lifestyle has led him across the United States including Hartford, Connecticut, and Tucson, Arizona as an accomplished Singer and Song Writer. The skills he developed in the procession of his travels complimented by his talent for writing, has prepared him for the arts program at En'owkin.
Utilizing the connections and enhanced proficiency of his art through the En’owkin Centre, he hopes to cross over seamlessly from traditional into the contemporary music industry as a singer/ producer. Upon completion of the NAPAT Program, he plans to attend the Nimbus School of Recording Arts to further develop his producing and recording skills.
John attributes his success to the cultural and traditional background he was raised in and the strength and support gained from his family. He would especially like to acknowledge Sam Mitchell (aka "JRez") of Rezzifyde Empire Records (aka R' Empire Records) for his Mentorship in the exploration and encouragement of his abilities.
