In April 2024, a few of our lab members embarked on a trip to Nɬeʔképmx territory for some in-person elicitation sessions, and to visit with our speakers and collaborators.

First, we were in Merritt, BC.  We visited and worked with speakers C̓úʔsinek Marty Aspinall and Kʷaɬtəzétkʷu Bernice Garcia.  We also had a meeting with our collaborators Mandy Jimmie and Aaron Sumexheltza (and son!).

Next, we headed to Lytton, BC.  There, we met with another speaker, Bev Phillips.

It’s always such a treat to get to see our friends in person.  Kʷúkʷstéyp for your time and energy in welcoming us!
