About the Tsleil-Waututh Translator

Kalila George-Wilson is a member of the Tsleil-waututh Nation. She has been working and learning to speak and teach the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language. She also can understand all three halkomelem dialects, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, hul’q’umi’num and halq’eméylem. She also hopes one day that we can all be multilingual and speak all of our traditional dialects one day.
