This work is inspired and based on a similar book developed to teach Shushwap language and made available during the language training sessions at Chief Atam School in the summer of 2004. The nsyilxcn / ns¢lxcin (Okanagan Salish) version was translated by Sarah Peterson and transcribed by Sarah and by Tish Elkink, both of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band of south central British Columbia. The vocabulary and phrases were recorded and put on CD during the fall of 2004 by Sarah Peterson and Christopher Parkin.
