WELCOME TO LUUDISK

A living archive of Tsm̱syen law, language, stories, and places. This knowledge grows over time as we learn more, listen more, and correct together.

1. AYA’AWX — OUR LAW

Teachings, responsibilities, and guidance for future generations.

→ More law pages added as teachings grow.

2. GLOSSARY — WORDS & TERMS

A clean and growing language base. Each word has its own page with root forms, variants, dialects, audio, and examples.

  • Glossary Index
  • Tsm̱syen (Sm’algyax) words — root form → dialect forms → meanings
  • Gitxsan words and parallels
  • Nisg̱a’a words and parallels
  • Audio/video pronunciation (as available)

→ Every Sm’algyax word in Luudisk links here.

3. MAPS & PLACE NAMES

Locations tied to stories, words, names, histories, and House responsibilities.

  • Interactive maps (future)
  • Google Earth Studio videos (optional)
  • Place name index (coming)
  • Land-based teachings
  • Connection between **words** and **land**

→ When a place appears in a story, it links here.

4. STORIES & TEACHINGS

Law lives inside stories. Stories carry roles, responsibilities, warnings, and history.

  • Adawx summaries
  • Law stories
  • Youth guidance
  • Teachings from Elders (as approved)
  • Modern reflections

→ Every story links back to its glossary words and law pages.

5. HELP & INSTRUCTION

Guides to help contributors learn how to use Luudisk safely and respectfully.

→ All editing stays respectful and consistent.

6. LANGUAGE LEARNING (Optional Expansion)

Small tools for learners and youth.

  • Beginner phrases
  • Sentence builder
  • Audio practice
  • Small videos demonstrating usage

→ These tools grow slowly as recordings and examples appear.

7. RECENT UPDATES & NEW PAGES

For people returning to see what’s new.

  • Automatically generated list of new pages
  • Recent changes log
  • “Pages needing attention” (Glossary gaps, missing placeholders)

Notes

The structure of this front door can change at any time without breaking links or pages. All content inside Luudisk remains stable even as we modernize the layout.
