A four-volume compilation of stories on Tsimshian history,
legend and mythology, as recorded by William Beynon, a Tsimshian who vigorously
worked to preserve the language before his death in 1969. Shim-al-gyack
words are interspersed throughout the stories, and as students read them, they
must translate the Shim-al-gyack words to English in a column by each
story. The stories are followed by word-match quizzes to help reinforce
knowledge of the Shim-al-gyack words learned. Created by Dum
Baal-dumŽ,
a Shim-al-gyack language preservation endeavor led by husband-and-wife
team Tony and Donna May Roberts of Metlakatla. |
