And every single one of the remaining languages is in jeopardy. But Native American activists, elders and educators are striking back by teaching indigenous languages and the cultures they communicate to rising generations of American Indians. Tolerance.org reports on the emerging movement for indigenous language survival. Reviving Languages, Saving Cultures Experts and educators alike say parents and immersion-style schools and camps hold the most promise for rescuing dying Native American languages and for reconnecting children with their cultures. http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_tol.jsp?id=563 June 21, 2002 -- "Windtalkers," this summer's box office drama about World War II's Navajo code talkers, may have brought the beauty of Native American languages to the big screen, but in real life, many make up a growing list of endangered tongues. http://bingaman.senate.gov/code_talkers/ Here is a fascinating article. http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_tol.jsp?id=563 Bonnie Bracey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 10:22:42 -0500 From: Gleason Sackmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PROJ> [Hilites => Projects] Ages 5-12 Rock Swap From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 16:47:28 -0700 Subject: [Hilites => Projects] Ages 5-12 Rock Swap Global SchoolNet Foundation provides this service free of charge to its worldwide education community.

I am interested in swapping rocks with other classes in the country that may be studying the same thing. The rocks needn't be large - golf ball size would be great. Swapping would give us a great opportunity to check out rocks in other regions of the country. ------------------- Project Details ------------------- Project Level: Basic Curriculum Area: Science Technologies Used: Email ------------------- Project Registration Information -------------------------------- Project Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registration Acceptance Dates: 6/01/02 to 8/30/02 Number of Classrooms: 10 Age Range: 5 to 12 years Target Audience: Anyone -------------------------------- Project Contact Information ---------------------------- Robin Andrews - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Grade 3 Teacher - Pelham Elementary School Pelham, New Hampshire US http://www.pelhamweb.com/sherburne/MrsAndrews/ ---------------------------- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - K-12 Project Announcements Unsubscribe at http://www.gsh.org/lists/hilites.html =.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.
