BAMBI SPEAKS ARAPAHO
Disney's classic "Bambi" has been released in the Arapaho language to help
preserve a fading Arapaho language and culture. The Wyoming Council for the
Humanities, a non-profit, state-based educational program of the National
Endowment for the Humanities, has a limited number of videotapes of "Bambi"
in Arapaho--the first feature length children's animated movie ever dubbed
into a Native American language available for linguists, anthropologists,
educators, and other interested persons.

The videotape is the result of a total immersion language project for
children in grades K-3 conducted on the Wind River reservation and supported
with funds from the Wyoming Council for the Humanities. In the Arapaho
version of the fifty-two year old Disney classic, the voices are provided by
Arapaho children and adults who participated in the language project in the
small Arapaho community of Ethete, Wyoming. Proceeds from the videotape are
earmarked for Native American language preservation projects.
