Kipp spent most of the workshop training par ticipants in the use of this method. By Friday they were ready to present a TPR language lesson in their native language. "Kipp not only opened up new doors for us and brought together the ideas we've been working on," says Trihal linguist Hank Millstein. "but also gave our Indian language teacher trainees confidence that they could teach effectively. That confidence is starts March 24 Aoril 14th session three - Al cohol and Drugs, Nutrition.

That is why Warm Springs Indian languages perhaps the most important thing he left us with." Millstein has been working with the teacher trainees since early January, giving them ba sic concepts in language teaching and allowing them to practice TPR and other approaches to language instruction. The trainees are scheduled to fin ish their training and class prepara tion around the middle of May. At that time, they will begin to teach Indian language classes open to all Tribal members. Kipp has a master's degree in education from Harvard University. He helped establish the Piegan Lan guage Institute about ten years ago to help his people recover their Blackfoot language. Over the years, however, the work of the Institute has expanded, and it is now frequently involved in giving workshops to tribes seeking to retain their native languages. Indian languages are vital to the survival of Indian people, according to Dorrell Kipp of the Piegan Lan guage Institute in Browning, Mon tana. That's why he was glad to come to help train Indian language teach ers for Warm Springs at a workshop that ran February 24-28 at the Senior Center and the Social Hall of the Community Center. Kipp was invited to conduct the workshop by the Culture and Heri tage Department, which is develop ing a program for Indian language teaching with funding from the Na tional Parks Service. Participants in the workshop included potential teachers of all three Tribal lan guagesWarm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute as well as other Tribal members who had been taking part in Indian language teacher training workshops conducted on weekday evenings by Tribal linguist Henry Millstein. Kipp began the workshop be ex- !laining the importance of Indian anguage to Indian survival. Lan guage, he told us, is the one thing that makes Indian people distinctive. Other people can and do imitate In dian crafts and dancing, but they cannot turn themselves into native speakers of an Indian language. An Indian tribe that loses its language will almost inevitably lose their identity as distinct people and a distinct culture.
