A collection of crossword puzzles with Tsimshian themes.
The clues are in Shim-al-gyack, and students have to fill in the English
translation. Each puzzle is followed by a word-match quiz using the same words
in the puzzle to reinforce word-building skills. Students are strongly
encouraged to use the Tsimshian Reverse Dictionary or
Tsimshian Language CD.
Puzzles include themes such as “Fishing Stuff,” “Potlatch Things,” and “Cultural
Mix.” Created by Dum
Baal-dum®, a Shim-al-gyack language preservation endeavor led by
husband-and-wife team Tony and Donna May Roberts of Metlakatla.
