My name is Kalli Van Stone, or spyu7. I am syilx and Secwepemc from the north end of Okanagan Lake. I am grateful to work on the land, with my relatives, learning about sqilxʷ ways of life. I love dancing, singing, writing songs and poems, and revitalizing nsyilxcn and secwepemctsín languages. My work is about taking care of oneself through the ways of long ago and making something for today and tomorrow.
