Oshele from the Sliammon
Nation, describes the project in the following way, "This is not a traditional Sliammon story but one
that could be told in any First Nations communty. The story appealed to
us because of it descriptive language and presented a challenge to
translate. The story also has a math focus and we hope to encourage
teachers to use it."
