Osoyoos Indian Band


The Osoyoos Indian Band is a First Nations government in the Canadian province of British Columbia, located in the adjacent towns of Oliver and Osoyoos in the Okanagan valley, approximately north of the Canada–United States border. They are a member of the Okanagan Nation Alliance. The band controls about 32,000 acres of land in the Oliver-Osoyoos area.
The band's Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre is located on the east side of Osoyoos. The centre gives tours in the arid region and explains the uniqueness of the plant and animal species found there.
As of 2025, the chief of the band is Clarence Louie. Louie has pushed for economic self-reliance by expanding investments, including a vineyard and winery, a four-star resort, numerous consumer services, and an 18-hole golf course.
There are about 540 band members who live and work on the reserve.
