Having grown up as a third generation Kamloopsian on the North Shore, a stone’s throw from the beach where the Thompson Rivers become one, Lyssa brings to The Wren a passion for learning and sharing local knowledge. Lyssa’s countless hours at the Kamloops Museum and Archives produced The Wren’s History of the Confluence series.
The poet, educator and Secwépemc cultural advisor sits down with The Wren to discuss his powerful new book, as well as truth, language and reconciliation.
