Last week our school had an amazing opportunity to work on fish. With the help of community members, students and staff we proceed 528 jars of fish. Students learned and participated in the many steps involved in the process of working on fish. Elders were present to share Bak̕wa̱mk̓ala and their knowledge of fish processing. It was an amazing learning opportunity and we are excited to share the gift of fish during the opening of the Gukwdzi. Here are a few words we learned:
Sockeye - ma̱łik
Jarred fish - ‘met̕sola
BBQ fish - t̕łuba̱kw
Cutting fish - x̱watła
Fish head - hixt̓i’
