Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
WITH THE NEWSCHOOLS VENTURE FUND, AWARDED 150K, TO REVITALIZE THE LANGUAGE THROUGH BUILDING NEZ PERCE LANGUAGE CULTURAL RESOURCES FOR YOUTH. WE WERE TO DEVELOP 15 - 20 LESSONS AND THEN IMPLEMENT THEM INTO THE CLASSROOMS, PRIMARILY FOR PRESCHOOLERS AND LOWER ELEMENTARY LEVELS. WE DID COMPLETE 15 AND ARE IMPLEMENTING THEM INTO OUR CLASSROOMS WITH A SIZE OF 20 - 30 YOUTH. HOWEVER, TEACHING WAS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR THIS INVESTMENT. THE INVESTMENT WAS TO CREATE MORE RESOURCES FOR AN ENDANGERED LANGUAGE/ CULTURE. THIS WILL HELP US TOWARDS OUR ULTIMATE GOAL OF AN NEZ PERCE IMMERSION SCHOOL OF OUR OWN. THE LACK OF RESOURCES OR ANY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IS WHAT IMPEDES OUR WORK.
