The Salish Word book is for free to anyone who wishes to use or distribute it for non-commercial purposes.
Audio files for the Salish word book will be downloadable below in 2020.

Playing Uno in Salish

You can learn to play the game Uno in n̓səl̓xčin̓ (Colville-Okanagan Salish) using the word/phrase list and the audio to the right. Most Uno decks sold in stores these days do not include English language text on the cards, so it is easy and fun to call out your plays, colors and numbers in Salish.  You can even tell other players, "Don't cheat!"
