The Snass Sessions are online Chinook Wawa study sessions.
The Snass Sessions were named after dedicated participant Rein Stamm. Rein’s commitment to these online learning sessions made them an established fact.
Eventually the group were able to bring in consulting linguist David Douglas “Chinook Man” Robertson PhD as an expert to help direct their studies. Then in mid-2020, they began to record their study sessions, realizing they would be of value to other Chinook Wawa students and researchers.
