Okanagan Grouse Woman

More about the book

In this book of Native American language research and oral traditions, linguist John Lyon collects Salish stories as told by culture-bearer Lottie Lindley, one of the last Okanagan elders whose formative years of language learning were unbroken by the colonizing influence of English. Lindley tells the stories that recount and reflect Salish culture, history, and historical consciousness.
