told by Lottie Lindley, Upper Nicola Indian Band transcribed and analyzed by John Lyon, University of British Columbia This paper consists of a collection of twelve short texts from Lottie Lindley, one of the last fluent speakers of the Upper Nicola dialect of Okanagan (a.k.a. Nsyílxcən, Colville-Okanagan, and Nqílxwcən), a Southern Interior Salish language. The subject matter of these texts vary, and includes legend, history, and cultural practices.
