Adaawgm Ts’msyen

These adaawx (traditional Ts’msyen narratives) were rewritten in the contemporary orthography by a team of fluent speakers, support staff and linguists, past and present. Over the years many people were involved in the work done to honour our Ts’msyen adaawx. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Ts’msyen Sm’algya̱x Language Authority, the Sm’algya̱x Committee, the Indigenous Education Department,  the Linguists and the many Knowledge Holders and Fluent Speakers who contributed to this very important work. This legacy of work will be invaluable to our current and future generations.
