Dakota Curriculum Project
It is imperative that all Dakota Children know about their history, culture, and language in order for the Dakota culture to survive. These valuable teachings are being lost as too many of our young children are being assimilated into the dominate society... The Creator gave the Dakota People (Ikche Wichashta) a language (Dakota lya) to communicate with each other.

The Dakota Language Homepage
"We appreciate the great interest in the language. As you will discover by going through our site, however, we believe that learning by translation is a hindrance to the actual speaking of the language. We will continue to provide you with opportunities to speak the language, but we feel that offering translations runs counter to our goal."

Lakota Language Revitalization
Native language instruction for children has changed in recent years to include computer-based pedagogical material. As a result, a variety of multimedia language programs have been developed as a way to teach vocabulary, sentence structure, and oral retention. These tools are becoming recognized as an important and accessible way for teaching languages.

Dene
Ft. Liard, Northwest Territories, Canada
Archeological evidence suggests that the Fort Liard area has been occupied for over nine thousand years. The Liard, Fort Nelson and Petitot Rivers were natural highways for the native peoples of the area. They provided access from what is now British Columbia, the Yukon, Alberta, and other parts of the Northwest Territories. The Kaska and Acho Dene people still make their homes in this area. People came from as far as the Pacific Coast and other areas to trade at Fort Liard.
