Developing Awareness and Strategies for Tohono O'Odham Language Maintenance.
Zepeda, Ofelia
Practicing Anthropology, v21 n2 p20-22 Spr 1999
The O'odham Nation is developing an O'odham dictionary in collaboration with the University of Arizona. The project is unique because it is conducted by tribal members and funded by the tribe. The group is proposing locating language centers throughout the reservation to mobilize community involvement in the project and to assist the Nation's language revitalization and maintenance initiatives.
