Lgnguggg Program UpdgtQ
As many of you know, it was an
nounced at the General Council Budget
meeting that the Language Program Budget
!was not sufficient ito carry our Paiute and
Wasco Language Teachers through the rest
of the year. We have good news, with the
coordination of Charles Jackson, Charles
Calica, Myra Shawaway, Rudy Clements, and
the Education Branch there are strategies to
supplement this line item until the end of
the year.
While this has been an unfortunate
.
situation, much good has come from this.
There is an acknowledgement that all of our
languages are in need of full time teachers
in order for them to survive. We are most
grateful to Gladys Thompson, Madeline
Mclnturff, Shirley Tufti and Patricia Miller for
hanging in there and giving us the wisdom
that they posses.
Soon it will be time to share in the
festivities that the holidays bring, please
remember your Elders who bless us with
their wisdom each and every day, remember
to share with you child the lesson of respect
that you learned while you growing up.
Myra, Alice, Anna and Valerie were part
of the Oregon Prevention Conference this
' year. We were proud that Myra was able to
represent us on a panel that shared what
Warm Springs is doing to prevent Alcohol,
Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse in our com
munity from the Language Programs
veiwpoint. So much good news, an affirma
tion of what our people knew.. .get back to
the basics of our own belief systems and
instill the resistence to Alcohol on our own
level.
The Language Staff will be taking An
nual Leave during the Christmas Holidays,
because of their need to be in the class
rooms at the same time your children are,
so please if you have any planning of
projects or need to talk to the Language
Staff, call us very soon, before we take our
holiday vacations. Thanks.
