Annual Ktunaxa Challenge
2012 Ktunaxa Challenge cancelled: Unfortunately, there was not enough time to properly conduct a Ktunaxa Challenge last year, but thank you to those who were interested. Watch for another Challenge opportunity by Winter 2013.
HINTS:
- If you download the free software "Audacity" http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download .
- You can load a Ktunaxa app on your iPhone by simply going to the "App store" and downloading it. This FREE Ktunaxa APP makes translating a breeze.
- The Ktunaxa fonts display well in Firefox & Chrome web browsers but may not display well in Internet Explorer.
