The Crow Nation has been awarded a three-year grant to help it preserve its
language among the youngest members of the tribe.

The tribe received word Monday that it is a recipient of a Native American
Language Preservation and Maintenance grant from the Administration for
Native Americans of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The money, which could total nearly $877,000 over three years, will fund
the Crow Nation Apsaalooke Preschool Language Immersion Project. The goal
will be to boost language fluency among 340 students at the Crow Head Start
program and two Songbird daycare centers.
