Today we learned that the Haida meaning of the secondary school name:
Gid Gaalang Kuuyas Naay means
House of Precious Children
The meaning of the elementary school name:
Sk'aadgaa Naay means
House of Learning
Also a little about dialect:
Nanaay(Grandmother)
is pronounced
Nan-eye in the south (in Skidegate)
and
Nan-eee in the North (in Masset)
That is the Haida lesson today.
