Ktunaxa Word of the Week: skinku¢

Admin H

kiʔsuk kyukyit ka aⱡa! Every week, our Aboriginal Head Start Coordinator Kayla teaches us a new word in the Ktunaxa language.

This week’s word of the week is skinku¢. This is the Ktunaxa word for coyote.

The skinku¢ is often a trickster in Ktunaxa legends and always getting into trouble.

To hear how skinku¢ is pronounced, visit First Voices.
