Perhaps the lack of success in efforts to reinvigorate the Cheyenne language hinges partly on the fact that non-Cheyennes have been leading the charge, using non-indigenous approaches. This project supports training and workshop involvement for two young members of the Northern Cheyenne community. The experience will provide instruction in language documentation and an opportunity for sharing their experience with other indigenous language students and teachers. With this award, there is the unique opportunity for two bright, focused undergraduates, who have grown up in a very traditional Cheyenne community context, to be the informed bridge from the ancestors to those who are yet to come. They have the potential to be essential keys to the documentation, preservation and reinvigoration of the Cheyenne language.This project will build on the linguistic documentation and analysis of the Cheyenne language. These students will develop skills and understanding to address the problem of language loss and stabilization, noting especially the need for resources integral to ground the pedagogy for teaching Native American languages within the speaker community.

也许重振夏安语的努力缺乏成功，部分原因在于非夏安人一直在使用非本土方法带头冲锋。该项目支持北夏延社区的两名年轻成员参加培训和研讨会。该经验将提供语言文档方面的指导，并提供与其他土著语言学生和教师分享经验的机会。 有了这个奖项，这两位在非常传统的夏延社区环境中长大的聪明、专注的本科生将有独特的机会，成为祖先与后代之间的桥梁。它们有可能成为夏延语言的记录、保存和复兴的关键。该项目将建立在夏延语言的语言记录和分析的基础上。这些学生将培养技能和理解力，以解决语言丧失和稳定的问题，特别注意到需要整合资源，以奠定在讲者社区内教授美洲原住民语言的教学法。
