Snuwuyth Lelum Dinner and Information Night -- May 20

Come out with friends and family! May 20, 2013. 6:30 pm. Esquimalt big house.

We are trying to build a big house to house Willie Seymour's dream of the Snuwuyth Lelum project. Snuwuyth Lelum is a project designed to give all people an opportunity to learn about the language and culture of Coast Salish / Hul'qumi'num speaking peoples. It's for residential school survivors, foster children, '60's scoop babies to connect with their language and culture in a way that is healing and positive for them and for the communities they belong to.

Tom Swanky will be giving a presentation on the book he has written about how smallpox was deliberately used to infect our people so that our lands could be stolen more easily by the settlers and government.

Everyone is welcome to the dinner and we welcome any and all support for the project.

If you would like to start learning the Hul'qumi'num language, please contact Meaghan Champion for the first two lectures that are now available in MP3 format. Email: tiddlypum@gmail.com or call 778-440-1102.

The Esquimalt big house is located right next to the Esquimalt Nation Administration office which is at
