Head Start program evaluation-Continued

Compliance with the standards,
regulations and policies provides
minimum assurance that the basic
framework for delivery of all man

available.
The OSPRI includes the following

philosophy and goals of Head Start

been an effective spokesman in all
these areas.
The fund raiser will be held on

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.
