	The Heiltsuk-Oweek'ala Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Heiltsuk is spoken on the north central coast of mainland British Columbia around Bella Bella and Klemtu.
		This language is spoken by three groups of people: the Bella Bella (/p@lbálá/), the Haihais (/xíxís/), and the Oweekeno /?uwik'inuxw/.
		Heiltsuk and Oweekyala are dialects of a language that has no traditional name.

	Heiltsuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heiltsuk (pronounced HAIL-tsuk) (also Bella Bella) is a dialect (or a sublanguage) of the North Wakashan (Kwakiutlan) language Heiltsuk-Oowekyala that is spoken by a few Haihai and Bella Bella First Nations peoples around Bella Bella and Klemtu, British Columbia.
		The Heiltsuk are comprised of the descendants of a number of tribal groups who came together in Bella Bella in the 19th Century and came to be called the Bella Bella Indians.
		The Heiltsuk language is part of what is called the Wakashan language family.

	Heiltsuk (Bella Bella)
		Today, members of this FIRST NATION prefer to be known as the Heiltsuk, a term anglicized from the word in their language meaning "native." They have been referred to also as the Bella Bella, a term anglicized from the name of a site located near the present-day community of Bella Bella.
		The aboriginal Heiltsuk economy focused on the harvesting and preservation of wild fish, birds, land and sea mammals, marine invertebrates and plants; there were no domesticated plants or animals.
		In late winter, Heiltsuk families left the central winter villages and set out for annually occupied seasonal camps where food was prepared for storage, to be used during the winter ceremonial season.

	User talk:Ish ishwar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Vietnamese language, the tonal marks have subscriptions instead of superscriptions, but that may be minor problem in convention.
		Languages on the map are at large taken from the controversial article "list of languages by native speakers", and I tried to locate them where they are spoken.
		Heiltsuk has been worked on more than Oowekyala, and it seems to me that Oowekyala has been assumed to be similar enough to Heiltsuk, but perhaps this hasnt been looked at with a lot of attention (at least until Darin Howe's 2000 dissertation).

	Some Pacific Northwest Native Language Names for the Sasquatch Phenomenon
		I prefer to speak of the lack of relatability among languages in those cases in which it is not possible to demonstrate genetic relationship.
		Of the languages and language families mentioned here, I believe that Sahaptin (a member of the Sahaptian language family), Chinookan, Molala, and Tsimshian can all be shown to be distantly related members of the larger far-flung Penutian grouping.
		The modern villagers of Klemtu are, in the main, descendants of emigrants from the deserted Coast Tsimshian village of [disju] or Kitisoo on the south- west of Princess Royal Island midway betweep Kent Inlet and Dallain Point and from the old Xaihais Kwakiutl village of [qhaynath] or Kynoch.

		The various members of the Wakashan language family occupy the central mainland coast of British Columbia, along with northern and western Vancouver Island, extending as far south as the Olympic peninsula in Washington State.
		Language and culture programs, however, serve mainly to enhance native identity rather than to restore native languages to their former dominance.
		Although their languages and cultural practices were eroded by residential schools and the Indian Act, the Wakashan succeeded in maintaining much of their heritage and identity.

	Foundational Report for a Strategy to Revitalize First Nation, Inuit and Métis Languages and Culture, Part 4
		Declining languages are languages in which a significant part of the adult population, perhaps half, still speak the language, but only a portion of young people and children know the language and most use the nationally or regionally dominant language instead.
		Endangered languages are languages in which people of the older generation, or Elders, know and use the language, but in which parents of childbearing age by and large use a different language with their children, thus disrupting intergenerational transmission.
		Critical languages are languages that have only a handful of speakers of an elderly age, without a significant number of parent-age and adult speakers, and no new speakers being raised through intergenerational transmission.

	Anderson, Cynthia I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Chol, a Mayan language spoken in the Mexican state of Chiapas, is the only member of the Tzeltalan sub-family to possess six vowels instead of the typical five exhibited by nearby languages like Tzeltal and Tzotzil.
		As revitalization of indigenous languages becomes more common in North America, a question arises of how “true” the speech of the new generation of speakers will be to the classical version of the language.
		It is generally recognized that languages vary in the robustness of their formal core/oblique (or argument/adjunct) distinctions, but the universality of obliques has rarely been questioned.

	Alphabet
		The Heiltsuk Alphabet is not like the English Alphabet, it is more of a phonetic listing of all the individual sounds of the Language.
		It requires the Heiltsuk font to be installed and Keyman 3.1 or 3.2.
		Since the Heiltsuk Alphabet has 60 characters several different alt and ctrl keystroke sequences had to be programmed.

	Who We Are

		Heiltsuk children were required to attend the now infamous Residential schools, where they were given poor quality education, low quality food, and subjected to curriculum designed to assimilate them.

		For Elroy White one of the positive effects of "Kaxlaya Gv'ilas" was the coming together of Heiltsuk Nation members living in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
		Group members have various levels of knowledge of the Heiltsuk culture so an important part of their time together is learning about their culture.
		The Heiltsuk also believe it is important to share their culture and history with others, White says.

	Deixis in the Pacific Northwest
		Franz Boas -- one of the heroes of language documentation--, in the Introduction to his Handbook of American Indian Languages (Boas, 1911) famously discussed the system of obligatory distinctions found in `Eskimo' and Kwakw'ala (his Kwakiutl), a Northern Wakashan language of the Pacific Northwest.
		Thus, the Kwakiutl, and many other American languages, add to the pronominal concepts just discussed that of visibility and invisibility, while the Chinook add the concepts of present and past.
		In Heiltsuk, Ooweky'ala, and Haisla, there are no prenominal elements of the sort given by Boas for Kwakw'ala.

	Notes From the Field - August 2006
		The seemingly simple cedar building that we are celebrating is adorned with beautiful red and fl wolves and grizzly bears painted by Heiltsuk artist Martin Campbell, and smoke rises from the roof joining earth and sky.
		This is a different world, and tears come to my eyes when I watch the chiefs bless the house with eagle down, the fine feathers clinging to their forearms.
		I am amazed at the power of the young men who address the crowd in the Heiltsuk language, and I feel wonder and respect when the kids from the youth camp are called up and recognized as "the heartbeat of Koeye".

	Cariboo Chilcotin Coast - Adventure - Hakai
		Hakai Pass is located about 300 air miles from Vancouver, in British Columbia’s beautiful Central Coast region.
		Hakai means “wide passage” in the native Heiltsuk language, which perfectly describes the waterway that separates several major islands: Stirling, Underhill and Nalau to the north, and Calvert and Hecate to the south.
		Each summer, masses of baitfish that congregate around the many rocks, islets and islands of Hakai Pass attract and temporarily hold schools of salmon on their spawning migrations.
