This dictionary is the first published compilation by the Squamish
Nation of Skwxwu7mesh Snichim, one of ten Coast Salish languages.
The Squamish peoples' traditional homeland includes the territory
around Burrard Inlet (Vancouver, B.C.), Howe Sound, and the
Squamish and Cheakamus river valleys. The Squamish Nation, while a
critically endangered language community, remains a crucial voice
of the Squamish. The language offers a view of modern daily life,
and contains the historical record, protocols, laws, and concerns
of generations of Squamish people.
This dictionary builds on over 100 years of documentation and
research by Squamish speakers working with anthropologists and
linguists beginning in the late nineteenth century. The dictionary
is also informed by Squamish elders who taught language classes in
the 1960s. More recently, the Squamish Language Elders Advisory
Group has been involved with and supported the work of the
Skwxwu7mesh Snichim Dictionary and language recovery
initiatives.
This important work is a reflection of current knowledge and is
designed as a beginner's resource for a diverse audience of
learners and scholars, as well as a tool for exploration.
This gripping history details the remarkable exploits of a Commando
and Special Operations Executive operative during the Second World
War. It is a story of extreme courage and a revealing portrait of a
man who ultimately gave his life for the liberation of France. This
is the first time his story has been told in full. Colin
Ogden-Smith was among the first to volunteer for the newly created
Commandos. In 1942 he transferred to the SOE and joined the elite
Small Scale Raiding Force to carry out raids across the Channel. He
participated in Operation _Branford_, a raid to the island of
Burhou, just north of Alderney, on 7 September 1942, and then,later
in the year, Operation _Basalt_, a Commando attack on Sark With the
approach of the D-Day landings, Ogden-Smith volunteered for a new,
clandestine group known as the Jedburghs - which represented the
first real co-operation in Europe between SOE and the Special
Operations branch of OSS. The Jedburghs were small teams of
personnel from British, American, French, Dutch and Belgian forces
that were inserted into Occupied Europe from June 1944 onwards to
link up with the local Resistance groups and conduct sabotage and
guerrilla warfare against the Germans. In July 1944, under the
cover of his code-name Dorset, Major Colin Ogden-Smith parachuted
deep behind enemy lines as the leader of Team _Francis_. Three
weeks later he was dead, killed in action fighting German troops
alongside his French comrades so that others could make their
escape. Seventy years on, the French community still remembers the
gallant Major Anglais.
It was in the closing year of the First World War, on 1 April 1918,
that the Royal Air Force was born from the amalgamation of the
Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. Since then, the RAF
has helped lead the world in the development of aviation and air
warfare. From the fighters and bombers of the Second World War,
through the early jet age and into modern remotely piloted air
systems, the last hundred years' development has been astronomical,
and the human story no less impressive. Here Peter Jacobs gathers
the most poignant objects of the RAF's proud history and displays
them together, in full splendid colour, for the first time.
Aircraft, memorials, uniforms, equipment, and some items you would
never expect - it's all here, ready to be explored.
