We Get Our Living Like Milk From the Land was researched and written by the Okanagan Rights Committee and the Okanagan Indian Education Resource Society for the Okanagan Tribal Council as historical background information about the Okanagan People of British Columbia. The history begins at Creation and outlines Okanagan history as well as how the European and later Canadian governments have dealt with Native People. The writers have compiled previously unpublished material and have produced a valuable history of the Okanagan Nation and their place in Canadian history. Information about contemporary land claims and court cases bring the information to the present-day. This is a unique tribal history from the people of the Okanagan Valley; it is recommended for students from grade 8 to post-secondary.
