I have no connection with this project; this information is relayed
from a flyer received at the FolkLife Festival in Seattle. It is mainly
of interest to those in the Puget Sound area, Washington, USA.

At FolkLife, Zeke Zahir told his stories by repeating each phrase first
in Salish, then in English; with voice and body language he often got
the message across very clearly before the translation.
