Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre

The Nk'Mip Desert Culture Centre ("Nk'mip" is pronounced "in-ka-meep") is an award-winning interpretive centre in Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada, It is owned and operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band and is approximately 3 kilometers north of the Canada-United States border. It is situated on the edge one of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada, the northernmost point of the Great American Desert which extends southward to the Sonoran Desert in Mexico.〔(''US Dam threatens "rare" BC'', The Province.
