DURANT, Okla. -  Brian Weaver and Louise Mitchell have won it anonti.
(That’s Choctaw for “again.”) The Haileyville High School teachers have led
their students to a pair of projects which have earned awards at the
Oklahoma Native American Youth Language Fair. Weaver’s class took the blue
ribbon for a third time with Opa Yvt Yakni Moma Nitak I Nowa (Owl Visits
Day World).  Mitchell’s class wrote and illustrated Okak Iskitini (Little
Swan), an adaptation of Cinderella, and it took the second-place statewide
prize at the April fair hosted by the Sam Noble Museum Department of Native
American Languages.
