Description

The Nlha7kapmx people are a few of the original inhabitants of the Fraser, Thompson, and Nicola river valleys in southwestern British Columbia. In this choice of traditional oral narratives and legends, which were passed from generation to generation for centuries, the elders tell the story of their people. The various stories were told in the original Nlha7kapmx language but have been carefully translated so to retain much of the colour and detail of the original, including the wealthy dialogue so regularly missing in translations. Altogether, over twenty story-tellers participated in the project. Put together entirely by Nlha7kapmx people, Our Tellings reveals how they perceive their own history. It’s their hope that through sharing these stories, they’ll inspire others to continue to create stories and to give a contribution to the cultural revitalization of Canada’s Native peoples.
