| N̓xaʔmxčín Curriculum Project |
Salish School of Spokane has partnered with the Colville Tribal Business Council to begin to produce a comprehensive, sequenced curriculum designed to help new learners become fluent in N̓xaʔm̓xcín, Wenatchee-Columbian Salish. The total curriculum when completed will include six textbooks divided into three levels. At each level there is a language book and a literature book. Each book is accompanied by audio recordings, language learning software, and additional materials to aid in learning and teaching. Qʷiy̓mátkʷ (Pauline) Covington Stensgar is the primary translator for the first three books of this N̓xaʔm̓xcín Curriculum Project. The curriculum model and its organization are copyrighted and provided by Christopher Parkin and LaRae Wiley. Salish School of Spokane began working on a Wenatchee-Columbian version of this curriculum in January 2014.

N̓xaʔm̓xčín 1: A Beginning Course in Wenatchee-Columbian Salish;
