W̱ЌEL, W̱,ЌELIWENS: Indigenous language revitalization through recording a SENĆOŦEN sleep meditation Photo by Matt Brett via Unsplash; PKOLS (Mount Douglas), Saanich, BC, Canada. It has been almost a year now that COVID-19 has disrupted so much of our lives. Sleep has been elusive for many. Thinking, worrying, over-thinking, stress, and isolation are just some things that cause sleepless nights. There are then two choices: stay awake or find strategies to fall asleep. One strategy that our family has tried is W̱ЌEL, W̱,ЌELIWENS — which means “sleep meditation.” I have noticed that all of our sleep meditation options are in the English language. What I wanted to do for our children who attend ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ Tribal School, located near Brentwood Bay and on W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) territory in W̱SÁNEĆ, was to create a sleep meditation in SENĆOŦEN, which is the name of our language.
