The Iupiaq language, classified by UNESCO as severely endangered, is the regional language of Alaska's North Slope. The region, similar in size to Minnesota, is home to only 13,000 Iupiaq people, approximately 2,000 of which are fluent speakers. This project will create a simplified, online Iupiaq language database to provide multiple communities of users, from youth to elders, a platform to create, collaborate, and share dynamic content in Iupiaq. The project will facilitate the Iupiaq Studies Faculty and students in generating content in the form of Iupiaq books, both in digital and print format and applications for digital devices. This effort is grounded in the traditional Iupiaq values of sharing, knowledge of language and cooperation.

The students will be identified as requiring remedial English coursework to bridge the gap between high school and college and will prepare towards completing their degree. The Summer Bridge Program will identify 60 freshman students and each English faculty will conduct an Inventory Exam that will identify the learning styles of each student and develop the coursework activities according to the student learning styles. The Summer Bridge Program will entail three (3) years with the first year as Planning and Curriculum Development; second year will offer the first Summer Bridge Program, and third year will offer the second Summer Bridge Program. |

the post-World War II generation of Crow
tribe members, to develop humanities course modules based on the interviews,
and to train students in oral history methods.
Little Big Horn College (LBHC) proposes a three year Humanities Initiative to enhance the oral histories held in the LBHC Archives which will strengthen Crow perspectives in humanities courses at the college. The LBHC Archives currently holds a large number of pre and early reservation oral histories. The period after World War II lacks the same breadth. As a result, a great deal of material that could assist in a comprehensive Crow centered humanities curriculum is not readily available. Humanities faculty will conduct oral history interviews, integrate the content into the classroom via course modules, and present the oral histories to the Crow community through the Cultural Enrichment Speaker Series. The oral history audio and video files and transcripts will reside at the LBHC Library/Archives for faculty, students and community members to utilize after the completion of the Humanities Initiative as well as being available on the Internet. |

and incorporate interviews into liberal arts courses at Blackfeet Community
College.
In an effort to bolster support for the storytelling tradition and language preservation on the Blackfeet nation, Blackfeet Community College (BCC) proposes a three-phase initiative that seeks to 1) document fluent language speakers, 2) translate, archive and organize their messages according to theme, and 3) integrate this work into units of study accessible by all BCC students as a part of their coursework. The first of these objectives will be completed in the first year by directly interviewing key Piikani speakers. Through planning general prompts and questions ahead of time, these interviews will be organized, and the first year will mainly be devoted to collecting and documenting this information. The second year will be focused on translating and organizing interview content into 60 concepts within four thematic units to be studied at BCC as well as integrating the archived, translated interviews into the BCC Liberal Arts curriculum. |

Lake Ojibwe language, culture and history.
The purpose of this project is to create a
student-driven podcast that will use student voices to disseminate information
and ideas about the Red Lake Ojibwe language, culture, and history to the Red Lake community, Red Lake tribal
members living off the reservation, and the public. The goal is to enhance
student-centered learning and student engagement with the humanities at Red
Lake Nation College. The content of this podcast, while stemming from class
assignments, will be in the voice of our students. The podcast will be a product
of their collective and individual knowledge. It is a way for students to
actively engage in both their humanities education as well as their Red Lake
language, history, and culture. The impact of a student-driven podcast focused
on Ojibwe language, culture, and history would be formidable in terms of
increased student engagement and motivation as well as oral and written
communication skills. |

people in the southeastern area of the United States.
The College of the Muscogee Nation proposes a
two-year Humanities
initiative to combine classroom lecture with a travel
study to the original homelands of the Muscogee (Creek) people. Students
enrolled in the MVSK 2343: Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture will have classroom
instruction and complete the course with a trip to the traditional and
historical sites significant to the Mvskoke. By redesigning the curriculum during
the first two trimesters of year one, CMN will strengthen the humanities focus
in this course and provide new experiences for students enrolled in the course.
As the humanities focus for this course increases, the planning team will expand
collections of Mvskoke (Creek) documents, oral histories, literature, and media
resources to support the Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture and other courses on the
CMN campus.

The School of Arts, Humanities and English at Diné College will strengthen and encourage the college’s mission to cultivate Navajo culture and identity through a three-year study and documentation of contemporary Navajo art and artists, focused on enhancing the academic Art History component of the Humanities curriculum. The project will involve both students and faculty, as well as outside scholars and consultants, in three distinct phases: (1) on-campus seminars with visiting Navajo artists, (2) an exhibition of the artists’ work at the College museum, and (3) development of a scholarly publication documenting the exhibition and offering a critical assessment of the evolution of the Navajo visual arts from a Native perspective. By addressing the lack of significant attention given specifically to contemporary Navajo art and artists, this initiative will result in a much-needed educational resource for wide use in Art History courses at both Diné College and other similar schools. |
