Audio file on pronunciation of Tla'min term:

Over the last several years Cedric Chauve and Veselin Jungic from the 丁香园AV Department of Mathematics have been collaborating with the , , and on a joint project of making mathematical models of some of the Tla鈥檃min traditions.

The Tla鈥檃min name of the project is: qa胃蓻t拧t蓹m k史蕣ms ta蕯蓹w which translates in English as 鈥渨e will be together in our teachings.鈥�

At a recent meeting, each member of the project team was gifted a M枚bius strip woven by a group of members of the Tla'amin Nation.

Since the M枚bius strip, as a one-sided and one-edged surface is often used as a symbol for infinity and unity, under the guidance of Elder Betty Wilson and with help from Mrs. Marina Mohar (photo) and Ms. Juliet Neun-Hornick (font design) the project logo has been created (see photo).

After creating mathematical models and learning resources based on the traditional and the stone fish traps, the group is finalizing a mathematical model of the traditional canoes.
