Tr'ondek Hwech'in Child's Abandoned Lesson, written in Gwich'in language
Moosehide School, Yukon

The first sentence reads, "they are going after ducks," the second sentence says, "Man and woman are sitting on caribou skin," and third sentence, "Man is making tea."

The other side of the student's work is the writing of a hymn, it doesn't seem that the entire song is there. Chilig means song or hymn in Gwich'in.
(Thanks to Georgette McLeod for the translation!)
