"Unity Rider" is located outside the Osoyoos, BC info centre. It is at the opposite side of the building from the parking area.
The plaque reads(in part): "The ceremonial Unity Staff, or medicine staff, and the grizzly bear graphic on the chief's shield are both powerful aboriginal symbols. The grizzly bear motif is especially significant as Chief Clarence Louie has, in April 2007, been ceremoniously assigned the native traditional ancestral name of Kilawna, translated as grizzly bear."
