INTRODUCTION TO THE LANGUAGE PROGRAM tsunme’n a nqwa’qwe’eln e snchitsu’umshtsn The Language Program is funded by the Tribal Council, through Coeur d'Alene Tribal Gaming Revenues. We currently receive additional funding through a grant from the Administration for Native Americans. The ANA grant projects are listed below. In addition to working on projects, we are often called upon to fulfill inquiries and provide consultant work in matters concerning the language from tribal departments, employees, families, and outside agencies. We are the point of contact for all Coeur d' Alene language projects that happen on and off the reservation.
Mission Statement
The Coeur d Alene Tribal Language Program will promote family-based activities for individuals who are committed to revitalizing the native language. We seek guidance from our elders past and present, in order to learn and teach Coeur d' Alene, to hear it spoken once again throughout the reservation community. Current
Projects
Language Program Staff work with a team of community members who have participated in past Coeur d'Alene language classes. This group of volunteers assists us in creating culturally-relevant language curricula. The following have a projected finish date of September 2004. Multimedia Education Application - Fun interactive activities on the computer with sound and animation. This will be used as a supplemental teaching activity for young children and their families.Resources for language teachers - Lessons and activities for teachers and families to do with children. They will be applicable to the delivery of instruction, discipline, and other everyday life activities. A Coeur d'Alene language database, searchable in either Coeur d'Alene or English.
