Below I quote from Jordan Lachler's message on the Haida language list a
couple days back. When you visit the "sounds of Haida" page, notice the
word for "fence" (it comes from Chinook Jargon), and tell me your opinion:
Did the Alaskan Haidas get this loan word by speaking CJ with Whites? Or
did they pick it up from the CJ spoken by Natives? -- Dave

Howdy,
This is just to let you know we have two new pages up on the Haida website -
- with audio now! Check them out:
http://www.haidalanguage.org/sounds-of-haida.html
and
http://www.haidalanguage.org/basic-phrases.html
There's much more to come as I go through the recordings from my trip. I
hope y'all find this helpful. Let me know if you have any suggestions for
improvements we could make.
Háw'aa,
