If you are keeping track of all these, could you send out a full list or summary to all of us sometime? It would be really nice to have this information available. Thanks for asking!<br>

as a regular course and Lushootseed and Tolowa Dee-ni' are taught as Self-study language classes. All three are offered through the World Languages Academy. At this time, Sahaptin does qualify for the "foreign language" (can you hear the sarcasm as I type?) requirement for

Native American Languages Could Count For Class Credit<br>
<br>
By Carol Berry January 19, 2012<br>

<br>
Goodbye, French and German. Hello, Dine, Lakota and other Native<br>
American languages—with some qualifications.<br>
<br>
Under a proposed new program in Colorado, European and Asian tongues<br>
would remain options for foreign language credit in high school, but<br>
Native languages from federally recognized tribes could also be<br>
offered for that purpose.<br>
<br>
The plan is described in a bill filed January 13 for submission to the<br>
Colorado General Assembly by Sen. Suzanne Williams (D-Aurora), a<br>
member of the Comanche Nation, and co-sponsor Sen. J. Paul Brown<br>
(R-Ignacio).<br>
