About
SHI works with community language learners, teachers, and partners to develop lessons and resources for the Tsimshian language. These resources have been developed over several decades. Sometimes cultural knowledge deepens or language orthography or guidance changes over time. Please keep that in mind as you access these resources. Anyone accessing these materials should work closely with cultural specialists to implement them. Reach out to SHI if you’d like more guidance.

In this traditional Tsimshian story, a young man who is teased by his brothers for being lazy and dirty trains secretly with a spirit and gains superhuman strength. He takes on warriors, animals, and even a mountain before facing his greatest challenge—the world itself.
