THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES LANGUAGE LESSON-
Language and Activities y
We know many people want to learn Ichishkiin, Kiksht, or Numu, and are not able to make it to community classes regularly. There
is certainly no substitute for an instructor, but we do have some tools you can take home and use as you learn your languages!
We are also proud to introduce a new tool, a vocabulary computer game!
