Sean Chandler and Lynette Stein-Chandler didn't grow up speaking the White Clay
language, but they're devoted to preserving it on the Fort Belknap Indian
Reservation in northern Montana.

Both MSU graduates, Lynette is director of the White Clay Immersion School where
children learn the White Clay language and culture in addition to subjects
they'd normally study in public school. Sean teaches the White Clay language
and culture at the school. He's also department head of Native American Studies
and director of the Tribal History Project at Fort Belknap College where the
immersion school is located.
