Iwas is a Squamish language learning tool designed for 7th grade students of the Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School in North Vancouver, BC.
Spring 2023.
Iwas, meaning to fish, is a game designed to teach students about local salmon species and their traditional Squamish names.
Fish were sewn using pre-owned and second-hand materials and dyed with home-made dye consisting of vegetables and other organic matter.
The game itself encourages students to use the Squamish language to refer to each fish during play and was created with the competitive nature of the youth of the class in mind.
