ʔəy̓ swéyəl, Leah Meunier θə nə skʷix tən̓i cən ƛ̓ q̓íc̓əy̓ təməxʷ. My name is Leah Meunier, I reside in my q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie First Nation) community with my husband and five children. I am currently enrolled, in a PhD program, at the University of British Columbia in Language and Literacy Education. I have years of experience as a Hən̓q̓əmín̓əm̓ language instructor: for my community, local school districts, and for Simon Fraser University. My graduate studies and my story creation have been fueled by the need to create accessible resources; so, my people don’t have to work so hard in their reclamation of their language and culture.
