In May, a few lab members were able to get a quick trip to Merritt in!  First they met with speakers kʷaɬtəzétkʷu and Mandy Jimmie at the Coldwater School, doing some language work together and listening to the students recite prayers about the Four Food Chiefs.  Later they had a chance to meet up with kʷaɬtəzétkʷu again for coffee and a bit more language work.  It’s always great to get to see one another in person!

UBC students Bruce Oliver (L) and Ella Hannon (R) catch up with kʷaɬtəzétkʷu (centre) at Valley Graze café in Merritt.
