<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
