This project contains the interlinear gloss for the X̱aays [The Transformers] legend, the entire legend contains nine sections in total. I focus my work on the first four sections of the legend. This sḵwx̱wú7mesh legend was recorded and hand transcribed by our late elder Sx̱aaltxw-t Siy̓ám̓, late Uncle Louis Miranda. Since the creation of our orthography, our writing system has gone through some slight changes. In this project, I have re-transcribed all sections into our current orthography and re-aligned with the sḵexwts – The Squamish Language Dictionary. My hope is that from this project, learners, and teachers of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim will gain a clearer understanding of how to do an interlinear gloss on narratives or on any other transcribed materials in our sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim.
