Grant Helps Develop Language Project at School The Siletz Tribe is pleased to announce the award of a two-year Administration for Native Americans’ Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Category II grant to develop an Athabaskan language curriculum for Head Start through fifth grade. As a Tribe, we have lost more than 90 percent of the ability to speak the Native language, Athabaskan. This is the first step of many on a long path to address this tragedy. It is the goal that the curriculum developed at the pilot project site, Siletz Valley School, will be largely available upon the completion of a successful project. Community involvement and input is always encouraged. It is the interest of the Siletz Tribal Language Project to address the needs of the community the Language Project is intended to serve. Please bring forward interests and comments to Bud Lane at any of the commu nity language classes or contact him at 541-444-8320 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1320; or Cova St. Onge at 541-444-1036.
