Chinook Jargon was chosen by BC’s Indigenous people for their first literacy, and because of that, 90% of preserved Chinook Jargon is Indigenous-written and in Indigenous writing!

Bonus fact:

When you become fluent, and you can, you’ll be in a speech community that can come up with words for ‘woke’, ‘racist’, ‘libtard’, ‘fascist’, & such…if we care to spend our time speaking this endangered language insulting people!

Bonus bonus fact:

Some of my BC punk rock bona fides — I’ve seen DOA play any number of shows, and when I was roadieing for Seaweed and Rocket from the Crypt, we partied with DOA’s only female ex-drummer, she claimed, at a Vancouver bar. Fuck off 🤩
