Úxwumixw 2050: Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Generational Plan is being developed by our community as a roadmap to sustainability, self-sufficiency, and improved governance. It is a document that will tell our story, celebrate our people, and look to the future.
Once complete, it will help guide and provide information to current and future leadership and community members to coordinate and prepare for what the future will look like. This will include setting out long-term priorities for all of the Nation’s territory and cover all aspects including culture and language, prosperity as individuals and as a Nation, health and wellbeing, governance, infrastructure and housing, and our lands, water, and air.
The Project Team invites Sḵwx̱wú7mesh artists to create artwork to help illustrate the document. For more information, see the details tab below.
Deadline to submit interest: August 30, 2023
Deadline to submit final artwork: November 15, 2023
