Quechan Indian Tribe

As a way of preserving linguistic variation, the Quechan Indian Tribe will produce an illustrated classroom dictionary, using the basic vocabulary spoken by the language instructors in the Quechan Indian Tribe Language Preservation Program. The dictionary will be made available for immediate use in early childhood language and literacy teaching activities. The tribe will also publish two volumes of print-ready Quechan oral stories in a bilingual format designed to serve as user-friendly language learning materials. These publications will facilitate further interest in preserving Quechan culture and an increased awareness of ongoing efforts to preserve the native language and culture.
