Idaho’s First Public Native American Language School Works To Preserve
Shoshone Culture
By ADAM COTTERELL <http://boisestatepublicradio.org/people/adam-cotterell>

This new kindergarten classroom on eastern Idaho’s Fort Hall Indian
Reservation looks and feels much like any other. Tiny tables and chairs
fill the room, bright drawings and artwork hang on the walls, and small
coats hang on low-to-the-ground hooks. It’s the sound of the classroom
that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

“Benna, ne naniha J.J.”

“Ne naniha Miley.”
