  All:
   
  For a community-level language committee, a goal is to get the local 
  school board to support Apache language teaching in the schools here in 
  addition to the educational outreach we are attempting to get the older 
  generations to re-learn and make decisions to once again teach the younger 
  generation our language.  One issue is that due to administrative staff 
  changes (school supt, principals, etc), there has not been continuation in 
  these efforts by local language teachers at schools and the new administrators 
  (gathered from recent presentations they did to the Tribal Council) seem to 
  not exclude local language/culture teaching from the school curriculae.
   
  In order to present this committee's recommendations to include these 
  courses and to strengthen support of local language teachers in the school 
  system, it was deemed that we need to convince these newer school 
  administrators of the importance of providing this teachings for our children 
  in local schools who comprise over 90% enrollment of native children in 
  them.  We request names of books, articles, authors, etc. that you can 
  provide us that emphasize the reasons why and how native children benefit from 
  inclusion of their native language/cultural knowledge in school curriculae, 
  need examples of tribes/schools that are successful, etc.
   
  Thanks for any info provided on this topic.
