In this project we are translating the work of beloved children's author Robert Munsch into interactive Hul'q'umi'num audio books. Hul'q'umi'num is the Coast Salish language of the First Nations that our school serves Stz'uminus First Nation, Penelakut Tribe, and Halalt First Nation. We have completed our first book Andrew's Loose Tooth - Andew's Kwa’ulnus Yunus's and hope to translate additional books and to translate these works into other Fist Nations languages.
