Today

The American Indian Language Bill is being intoduced to today at the Colorado State Capitol. The bill would basically provide the option to take an American Indian langauge such as Diné(Navajo) or Lakota in Colorado schools.

I am so incredibly excited, and sending all my energy out in hopes that this will be passed. So that native children living in the cities, may have the option to learn their languages. I wish I would have had that opportunity growing up in a metropolitan city as I am barely learning Diné now at this late stage in my life.
