Language Use by Yavapai-Apache Students with Recommendations for Curriculum Design.

McCarty, Teresa L.

Journal of American Indian Education, v20 n1 p1-9 Oct 1980

Bilingual Yavapai-Apache youth have some Yavapai linguistic competence and limited performance skills, yet Yavapai is important to them. A bicultural-bilingual curriculum emphasizing culture and history minicourses taught by community members can help revitalize the fading Yavapai culture and provide cross-cultural education for non-Indians as well.
