The Culture and Heritage Department has applied for a grant to continue the teacher training and language instruction program past the summer, but the Department is hoping that the Tribes will also be willing to support the program. Wendell Jim, Director of the de partment, hopes the tribes will fund this very important program in the near future. Because of space limitations, and because this is a pilot project with teachers who are still in training, each class will be limited to 25 stu dents. If more people sign up than can be accommodated, students will be selected by lottery. From the start, the Department planned to hold classes in Wasco as well as Warm Springs and Paiute, but no speakers of Wasco have been willing to teach us yet. "I'm really sad that we aren't offering a Wasco class," says Millstein, "but I'm hoping that, once our Wasco speak ers see classes going in the other two Tribal languages, they'll want to get Wasco classes started too. We know there are plenty of people out there who want to learn Wasco." Learning a language takes a long time, Millstein warns, and this twelve week class will only get people started.
