Okanagan Grouse Woman : Upper Nicola narratives / Lottie Lindley ; edited and with an introduction by John Lyon ; foreword by Allan Lindley.
"In this book of Native American language research and oral traditions, linguist John Lyon collects Salish stories as told by culture-bearer Lottie Lindley, one of the last Okanagan elders whose formative years of language learning were unbroken by the colonizing influence of English ... For each Okanagan Salish story, Lyon and Lindley offer an uninterrupted transcription followed by a collaborative English translation of the story and an interlinear rendition with morphological analysis"--Front jacket flap.
