	Phonetics and word definition in Ahtna Athabascan *.(Report) - Linguistics: an interdisciplinary journal of the ...
		This article investigates the question of word definition in a polysynthetic language, Ahtna Athabascan.
		Syntactic models of polysynthetic languages cannot explain why some syntactic strings constitute sentences and others words, since they represent both in the same component.
		In the most articulated of such theories, e.g., Rice (2000) and Hale (2001) for Athabascan languages, it is explicit that words are formed based on prosodic principles.

	Language Resouces and Revitalization Efforts for Alaska Native Languages
		The language of instruction for grades K-3 is Yup'ik, with an English as a Second Language (ESL) component in each grade, and increasing amounts of English used in instruction each year.
		The goal of the program is language restoration, as children who speak only English are introduced to Yup'ik/Cup'ig in their primary grades by way of immersion in the language.
		There are certified language teachers from the school’s respective villages at most sights, but many of them are actually intermediate speakers, allot of them learning from elders and teaching simultaneously.

		The great irony is that the ancient language is being preserved by one of the most modern devices -- the computer.
		It will be a challenge keeping the language alive, but at least now a formal effort is being made to preserve some part of this ancient dialect.
		The hope is that Ahtna- Athabascan won¡¯t be among the casualties, but it¡¯s a tough fight.

		In the late nineteenth century reformers in efforts to civilize Indians adapted the practice of educating native children in boarding schoolss.
		The experience in the boarding schools which existed from 1875 to 1928 was difficult for Indian children who were forbidden to speak their native languages and in numerous other ways forced to adopt white cultural practices.
		Military defeat, cultural pressure, confinement on reservations, forced cultural assimilation, the outlawing of native languages and culture, forced sterilizations, termination policies of the 50's and 60's, and (especially) slavery have had deleterious effects on Native Americans' mental and ultimately physical health.
