Other Notes
This dictionary is part of a multimedia website that includes other language materials, including videos, digital storybooks, lesson plans, songs, audio recordings, and other digital resources. The website was created by the Stó:lō Shxwelí Halq'eméylem Language Program, which functions to support Halkomelem language teachers by providing curriculum, resources, and methodologies for teaching languages. This dictionary, therefore, seems to be intended for speakers who already have intermediate knowledge or beyond of Halkomelem.
