</a> <br><br>This is the first year of the Endangered Language Fund's annual Native Voices endowed grant program for work on some of the indigenous languages of North America. This money comes from the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council, which received the revenue from the
U.S. Mint's sale of the Lewis and Clark 2004 Commemorative Coins. <br><br>We will accept proposals from members of eligible tribes along the historic route of the 1804-1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition whose ancestors experienced contact with the expedition, or whose ancestral homelands were traversed by the expedition, or whose tribal customs or languages were
<br>recorded by the expedition, including tribes who were removed to Oklahoma subsequent to the expedition. <br><br>This year, the Native Voices Endowment grant program will make a total of $75,000 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
<br>research efforts to document and record Native American languages for future preservation and education. <br><br>The RFP and a list of eligible tribes are available here: <br><a href="http://www.endangeredlanguagefund.org/native_voices">
