History
Eloise (Sophia) White Street, the daughter of a missionary in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, had been raised with Halq'emeylem nannies, becoming fluent in the Halkomelem language. She worked with Chief William Sepass (K'HHalserten) to transcribe and translate traditional Coast Salish songs from Halkomelem to English for publication. She understood the importance of adhering to the original rhythm and cadence of the 16 ancient songs.
