2023 Language & Culture Móqʷix

In October 2023, several lab members attended the Language & Culture Móqʷix hosted by the Citxw Nlaka’pamux Assembly.  The conference took place at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) in Merritt, BC.  We were able to share some of our language work with community members, as well learn from lots of interesting presentations about Nɬeʔképmx traditional practices.

Thank you to the organizers, everyone who came to talk to us about our projects, and everyone who shared some of their knowledge with us.  It was wonderful to hear so much of the language!

After the Móqʷix, we had a bonus visit in Lytton, BC, with speaker Bev Phillips.
