Abstract

The 84 dialogues laid out in this book are intended to provide a starting point to spark conversation in short phrases, with some humor added in. Taking into consideration different linguistic groups, it has been written in English although it is not always easy to translate into a First Nation language as cultural knowledge and worldview are unique and distinct. The dialogues can be changed and adapted to suit the diverse needs of the community and will lead to further conversation that is more in depth. The goal for the user of this book is to exchange information, build relationships and keep the language spirit alive.
