After a lengthy break, Jack will be writing occasionally for the Pacific Northwest Inlander again. His first piece is part of an article about Salish language resurgence in the Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and Kalispel world that includes statements from a handful of language experts plus dynamic cover art by Emma Noyes.
Jack’s piece details the making of David Thompson’s Saleesh-Kullyspel Vocabulary 1810, the first written dictionary of Salish language.
