Donna,

We will mail you three DVDs which include the books, worksheets, bingo games and other learning materials all of which were primarily created using Microsoft publisher so they can be easily converted into any language.  It's a matter of click on the text box, delete the Dakotah and insert another language.

Our AAIA official policy on sharing our materials is this:

"We ask only that if you can contribute, please do so.  If you cannot, that's okay too.  We also request that two copies of any materials created be provided to the language program office so that one may be included in our extensive archives at Princeton University Archives and will be available for generations to come."

These copies for our archives is vitally important to us because all native language can probably be considered endangered now and even though our focus is on revitalization we need to be thinking of preservation too.  

I will prepare a set of DVDs and send them out this week.  Thank you for working to save our languages.

I am definitely interested in learning more about the availability of your books.  We have four languages here at SIR and this would definitely give us a leg up on providing language learning opportunities to our families.  

Many thanks,

Donna

Mitakuyapi,

Over the years we have offered several times for any tribe, school or language program to take the books we have made and translate them into any native language so they can be used for revitalizing our native languages.

I am attaching a page of one of the books showing it in Dakotah, Lakota, and as it was translated by the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape Language Revitalization Project.  We have over 120 children's books and I take this opportunity to restate our offer.
