Meaning and Artwork Behind "Winds of Syex̣t"
In 2026, the Mount Mabel Wind Project was rebranded as Winds of Syex̣t. Syex̣t, meaning “tomorrow” or “future” in nłeʔkepmxcin, reflects the project’s connection to the values and culture of the Lower Nicola Indian Band.
A creative contest invited Lower Nicola Indian Band members to contribute ideas and artwork for the new identity. The winning name and artwork were selected by Lower Nicola Indian Band Chief and Council.
