Language Program Workshop: June 23rd - 25th, 2003 The Culture & Heritage Department will be hosting a workshop celebrating the history of collaboration between the Language Prog-am and language-lovers from off-Reservation. We will have several distinguished guests presenting, and listening, to discussions about the instruction and promo tion of the beautiful languages that belong to the people of this Reservation. Here are some words of salutation from two such individuals, Kay French, and Hank Millstein: In 1950, David French and I began visits to the Warm Springs Reservation which led to lasting frendships with reservation families. Yvonne Hajda, who had been a student of David's, and I spent time at Warm Springs in the 1980s to learn what was happen ing to traditional ceremonies (like wedding trades and namings). Since the 1990s, Yvonne and I have been cooperating with the Tribes in obtaining information for projects involvoing traditonal cultural properties. We look forward to meeting with people (and hopefully showing some slides) on Wednesday morn ing, June 25th at the Training Room (Education Building) and at 9 AM. - Kay and Yvonne For sixteen years, from 1980 to 1996, 1 had the honor and privelege of being known as the Tribal Linguist at Warm Springs. I worked with speakers of all three languages to try and lay the groundwork for an ongoing program to keep these precious languages alive. And after my tenure in that poisiotn, the Tribes continued to use my services, with grants from the National Endowment for the Humantities, to produce a series of reference and study materials in Wasco. One of the greatest joys of my life has been to see how the people of Warm Springs have taken off with their language efforts, bringing language teaching to the school and the community. I hope that my efforts have made some contribution to that success and that they will continue to be of use. Above all, I cherish the friendships and relationships that I have had with people of the Tribes over the years. - Hank June 23rd Sharing Stories of Our Favorite Language Portland State University Smith Memorial Center: Rooms 327 & 328 June 24th Teaching Our Languages Kah-Nee-Ta Mt.
