Ocean's Ts'msyen name is Ama G̱oodm La̱xsüülda. She is from Kitsumkalum and she has dedicated the last 7 years to learning and teaching Ts’msyen Sm'algyax. She has found that her passion to hold Sm'algyax in her heart deepens her connection with her traditional lands, her community and herself.

More to come soon!
