A Note on Orthography

There are a number of writing systems used to convey the Hul’qumi’num language. For the sake of consistency in the narrative, the anglicized names of villages and individuals are used throughout the text. Other Hul’qumi’num words follow the writing system developed by Thomas E. Hukari and Ruby Peters (1995). Stress is generally on the first or second syllable. In this system the letter “i” is pronounced as “ee” in English. Thus “Hwunitum” (white person) is pronounced “hwu-nee-tum.”
