We are excited to be finishing our first coloring book at the end of the month. This coloring book will be covering most of the animals found in Yesa:sahį to date. Each coloring image is accompanied by its label in our language and also in English, along with the pronunciation guide. There is also a QR code for each word that allows you to hear a community member speaking the word. The coloring book will be available on the Yesa:sahį Language Project (YLP) https://www.yesasahin.org/home website as downloadable content after a $5 donation. All proceeds go to the YLP nonprofit to help continue the language revitalization work.
