"KELOWNA" - Grizzly Bear (Male)
"KELOWNA"
Grizzly Bear (Male)
(Kananaskas, Alberta, CA)
One of the many great things about wildlife is a common interest among individuals from various backgrounds and the conversations it generates.
During a recent chat with one of the check-out ladies at my local Sobey's, I discovered she is originally from British Columbia and a member of the Syilx/Okanagan band.
And from there, I learnt that the name "Kelowna" is derived from an Okanagan language term for "grizzly bear".
Who knew? I didn't, for one!
