Gitksan vs NND Language App

The dictionary is an initiative of the UBC Gitksan Research Lab and Barbara Harris, Vincent Gogag and Hector Hill. Many people have been involved in this dictionary over many generations and we are grateful for everybody's involvement. This version is intended to be multidialectal, including audio from different villages. We would like to thank Xsiwis (Jane Smith) for providing stories to the app. We would also like to thank artist Maaslik’i’nsxw (Ken Mowatt)'s generous donation of artwork to this project.

The Northern Tutchone Language App includes the following: - Over 1600 audio files with recordings of fluent Native speakers - A Culture Notes sections with songs, images and videos - 3 Levels of Games and 3 Types of Quizzes - A Searchable database and much more! We hope you will enjoy using this app to learn about the language, people, culture and our rich history.
