| Title | Pablo Man Hopes To Revive Salish Language |
| Body | From: OELA Newsline John Stromnes writes in the The Missoulian about Joshua Brown and his quest to revive Salish, a Native American language that has less than a hundred tribal members remaining who are fluent in it. Mr. Brown, who has a degree in public administration from the University of Montana, originally founded the Salish language-immersion school, Nk(w)usm (One Fire) in Arlee, Montana for this purpose. Now, using the $60,000 award he recently received from Echoing Green, a non-profit organization in New York that provides social entrepreneurs with seed money, Mr. Brown plans on organizing a non-profit that will "expand and elaborate on the mission of the school, working in tandem with it...to revive Salish as a spoken, used and useful language and as a tool for cultural revival." The competition for the Echoing Green fellowship was tough: Mr. Brown faced 100 competitors and went through a number of formal interviews before landing the award.
