The Yakutat Tlingit Tribe of Alaska plans to grow the number of language
speakers by developing a program that focuses on teaching children its
native tongue called Yaakwdaat Lingít Haa Yatx'i Jeeyís, or "For Our
Yakutat Tlingit Children."

The tribe hopes to increase resources for its future Lingít language
immersion activities and build stronger speaking skills for its community
and families as a result of receiving funding from the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF).
