Nsyílxcən, Colville-Okanagan, and Nqílxwcən), a Southern Interior Salish language. The subject matter of these texts vary, and includes legend, history, and cultural practices. Each text is presented in the following manner: After introductory notes, we give an unbroken Okanagan transcription, followed by an interlinear rendition complete with morphological analysis, before ending with Lottie’s free translation and/or additional commentary.
