Created by: Gary George of the Wet鈥檚uwet鈥檈n Nation
Note: This glossary was compiled from several sources that include fluent speakers, draft dictionaries (1999), and First Voices online. One aspect with the Wit鈥檚uw颈迟鈥檈苍 language is that one term can translate into a whole event or situation. The Small Number videos and this glossary serve as a guide of Wit鈥檚uw颈迟鈥檈苍 language and are a 鈥渨ork in progress鈥� and subject to modification.
