> We are happy to announce that the Endangered Language Fund will be
> managing and distributing a new $1.6 million grant program, the Native
> Voices Endowment. This money comes from the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial
> Council, which received the revenues from the U.S. Mint's sale of the 2004
> Lewis & Clark Commemorative Coin. Grants through this program will be
> available to the Native American tribes that came in contact with the
> Lewis and Clark Expedition between 1804-1806. The investment will be
> managed by the Oregon Community Foundation. It will generate an estimated
> $75,000 in interest each year, which will be available to enrolled tribal
> members, tribal government language programs, tribal community language
> programs and tribal schools and colleges.  Proposals will be accepted for
> Native American language education programs, individual study by Native
> American language students, and research efforts to document and record
> Native American languages for future preservation and education. To learn
> more about this grant program, and to view a list of eligible tribes,
