This is Brandy’s second term serving as Tk’wemi’ple7 for the Adams Lake Indian Band. Her goal is to reach a sense of healing and pride in the community.
Her first term was really a learning experience and this term it’s time to implement what is really needed to reach our overall Vision as a Community.

Experience:
Brandy is very passionate about learning our history, being involved in our culture while preserving our Secwepemc Language.
Being that this is Brandy’s second term, she comes with more knowledge and understanding of wellness and healing. In order to help others, you first must help yourself. We have to be the voice for those yet unborn.
