Description

Collaboration among contemporary Native American communities and local public schools is vital for nurturing Native languages. Although public schools cannot bear the entire burden, Native-language education will remain on the margins without their support. Using case studies of school districts on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, Crossing Mountains provides important insights about integrating Native-language learning into public education. Phyllis Ngai argues that carefully designed and inclusive Native-language programs can benefit communities and students regardless of ethnic identity by providing for language-revitalization and promoting intercultural competence.

Author Biography:

Phyllis Ngai teaches in the Department of Communication Studies at The University of Montana-Missoula. She co-directed primary-school and middle-school Indian Education for All (IEFA) programs in Missoula, Montana.
