A First Nations family goes foraging in the woods. Yayah teaches her grandchildren vocabulary in the language of the Salish people.
Comment
Add a CommentCute story about a First Nations family foraging in the woods and learning Salish language. The story is too long for very young children and it is Salish language vocabulary heavy. A glossary is provided in the back to assist parents in pronunciation.
Wonderful story introducing language of a Canadian and northern Washington tribe.
