CHARLIE LAKE, B.C. — An event to honour Family Literacy Week at the Tse’k’wa Heritage Site in Charlie Lake has been cancelled.
Heritage Society executive director Alyssa Currie said the cancellation came as a result of a memorial service honouring West Moberly First Nation (WMFN) Elder Catherine Dokkie.
According to a notice on WMFN’s Facebook page, Dokkie passed away last week.

The scheduled gathering on January 31st was to centre around “cultural literacy” and was a chance for visitors to come and explore the cave.
“[It] will be a really great chance for families to come outside and get unplugged,” said Currie at the time.
Tse’k’wa, which name means “Rock House”, is co-owned by Prophet River First Nation, Doig River First Nation and WMFN.
With a history dating back to the Ice Age, it is one of the few Indigenous-owned heritage sites in Canada.
