Written as I Remember It: Teachings (ʔəms tɑʔɑw) from the Life of a Sliammon Elder, a memoir and cultural history written by Elsie Paul in collaboration with Paige Raibmon and Harmony Johnson, published by UBC Press.
Key Details About the Book
The Author: Elsie Paul is a celebrated Elder and knowledge keeper of the ɬaʔamɩn (Tla'amin / Sliammon) Nation along British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. She is one of the last surviving mother-tongue speakers of her language.
Content: The book shares her life story alongside traditional oral teachings, legends, and history. It reflects her experiences growing up immersed in traditional Coast Salish ways under the care of her grandparents, navigating the subsequent challenges of colonialism and racism, and serving her community as an elected band councilor.
Legacy: The physical text has also been adapted into a groundbreaking, open-access multimedia digital edition titled As I Remember It, which integrates language audio, animations, and interactive mapping.
