Ogopogo is also N'ha-a-itk, "Spirit of the Lake" to First Nations, world's most credible sea serpent, and the most famous in North America.

It has been sighted for thousands of years by FN. It is Magical to Residents & S/B major Tourist Attraction.

Including N’ha-a-irk with Ogopogo in these projects is desirable, if First Nations so wish.

I have ideas how to make Ogopogo into a major tourist attraction.

My ideas range from an Ogopogo Festival, to bricks and mortar attraction, to a Family Entertainment Centre, to a Community Theme.

I will soon, and from time to time, publish here the outlines for these projects. The outlines are already backed up by more detailed plans, developed over the past few years.

If you are motivated to make Ogopogo into a major tourist attraction, contact me.

Bruce Klippenstein offered to gift his “N’ha-a-itk” trademark to both the Okanagan Nation Alliance and Westbank First Nation.
ONA expressed interest, but did not follow up. WFN said “yes please”, and I paid to transfer the Trademark ownership to them.

Mission accomplished. First Nations own N’ha-a-itk, and I own Ogopogo and Ogopogoland.

Now I need to find a developer to share my vision to make Ogopogo a major tourist draw.

RE: My gift to First Nations of Trademark for N'ha-a-itk
A friend asked me an incisive question that may also have occurred to others.

Query:
“How can anyone give you something you already own?”

Reply:
Nobody can, and First Nations (FN) definitely already own the culture that is N’ha-a-itk.
The Trademark I would gift to FN offers only three things that add to (enhance) FN ownership, by my thinking:
• Protection
• Opportunity
• Control

Protection: The Trademark is a written legal blanket that would cover FN rights, and protect them from others who would usurp those rights for their own ends. EG sell items with the name “N’ha-a-itk” attached, without FN approval.

Opportunity: FN would have the option to license the manufacture and sale of goods labelled as “N’ha-a-itk.” This is a significant decision that involves costs to initiate and later to audit. It may not be worth the investment.

Control: With the Trademark, FN decides whether, when and how to share their culture about the "Sacred Spirit of the Lake" with the rest of the world, and ensures their control over the process.

Bear in mind that this Trademark is restricted - it covers only advertising and promotion of N'ha-a-itk, but in almost every imaginable way that would enable making N'ha-a-itk a major Tourist attraction, if and when FN want to share their "Water is Life" philosophy.

R Bruce Klippenstein, of Peachland BC, is pleased to announce that as of November 2021, he is the registered owner of these three Trademarks:
• Ogopogo
• OgopogoLand
• N'ha-a-itk

The Trademarks cover every conceivable means of advertising and promoting the Trademarked words. The purpose is to promote this sea serpent as a major world-wide Tourist Attraction, and to earn revenue from licensing the manufacture of souvenirs, clothing, etc. and their subsequent sale around Lake Okanagan.

As was his original intent, Klippenstein has offered the Trademark for N'ha-a-itk to First Nations (FN), without cost or conditions to the recipient. To FN, N'ha-a-itk means "Sacred Spirit of the Lake" and encompasses an intrinsic relationship with water, and water's relationship with all Life. FN alone should decide if and when to share their important water-centric message with the world.

Klippenstein applied for these Trademarks in November 2018; it took the Canadian Intellectual Property Office three years to complete their review, and to register the trademarks.
