Elk and Mouse
The purpose of this curriculum is to introduce students and teachers to the significance of storytelling to the Colville Confederated Tribes. Each story has its own resources to enhance the learning experience. This portion of the curriculum, should only be used when the first snow falls to preserve the teachings passed on for generations.
This curriculum is a collection of nxaʔamxčín stories (kʷalmáyaʔtn) that have been transcribed and translated by the Colville Tribal Language Program and elders Pauline Stensgar and Ernie Brooks. The stories (kʷalmáyaʔtn) are essential to the tribe’s language, culture, and traditions.
