Located in south central British Columbia, Canada, the Okanagan Valley is home to Westbank First Nation, one of eight First Nation communities that comprise the Okanagan Nation. The Okanagan (syilx) traditional territories extend from the south central interior of British Columbia to north central Washington State. The syilx are a division of the Interior Salish and speak the nsyilxcen language. They have inhabited the valley for thousands of years.
Westbank First Nation is proud to be on the leading edge of aboriginal people. On April 1, 2005, and after nearly two decades of community consultation and negotiation, the WFN Self Government Act came into effect. The objective of the Chief and Council is to continue to grow the economy on the Westbank reserves and provide a solid and predictable economic climate in which business can flourish and members can prosper.
With the large growing economic development, WFN has evolved with over 500 hundred business on the reserve.
