Language & Culture Resources
This page is intended for sharing language and culture resources with Members. This includes Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish language), history, culture, and traditional knowledge. The resources include online learning opportunities and tools, such as viewing recordings of past sessions or events.
We will continue to add more resources to this page as they become available.
Tel̓tel̓númut Cht is delivered in a virtual webinar format and features a guest presentation on a specialized Sḵwx̱wú7mesh subject. After the formal presentation portion, the session ends with time for questions and answers and a chance for participants to win door prizes.
Ta wa níchim sḵexwts (Talking Dictionary) features words recorded in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish Language) with up to three different voices: Elder, community member, and teacher. Sentences using each word were also recorded so you can hear them in context.
