Norah is a school board trustee in School District 23. Her book of poetry and prose about Okanagan Mountain will be published with Caitlin Press in 2021.
In this free, noon-hour discussion, Bowman will talk about her recent research around the idea of mapping the movement, presence, forced relocation, and cultural and economic contributions of BIPOC in this valley, and seeing how Central Okanagan Whiteness is a result of purposeful white supremacist culture.
