Chief Dull Knife Community Is Strengthening the Northern Cheyenne Language and Culture.

Littlebear, Richard E.

Journal of American Indian Education, v42 n1 p75-84 2003

Language revitalization programs should focus on whether they want to teach the language, teach about the language, teach with the language, or teach the language for academic credit. A program at Chief Dull Knife College (Montana) teaches the Cheyenne language using the Total Physical Response method, which replicates the manner in which first languages are learned; immersion camps; and a language master-apprentice component.
