Title: California Schools Prepare to Cut Foreign Language Classes
Body: From http://www.baycitizen.org/education/story/schools-prepare-cut-foreign-language Schools Prepare to Cut Foreign Language Classes "They are setting the kids up for failure," says one parent By Jennifer Gollan April 28, 2011 As one of the city’s most sought after public high schools, George Washington High School in San Francisco has long enjoyed a reputation for ambitious foreign language programs, helping students gain admission to prestigious universities. But that distinguished track record may be threatened by even deeper state budget cuts. The 2,200-student school may cut some of its advanced offerings in foreign languages next school year. There will be no third-year of Spanish, French or any other language that the school currently offers. Across the Bay Area, school districts including San Francisco Unified, Oakland Unified and Cupertino Union, are sending pink slips to foreign language teachers.

Title: Squamish-English Dictionary
Body: From http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/SQUSQU.html Skwxwu7mesh Snichim-Xweliten Snichim Skexwts / Squamish-English Dictionary Squamish Nation Dictionary Project Published by the University of Washington Press This dictionary is the first published compilation by the Squamish Nation of Skwxw7mesh Sníchim, one of ten Coast Salish languages. The Squamish peoples' traditional homeland includes the territory around Burrard Inlet (Vancouver, B.C.), Howe Sound, and the Squamish and Cheakamus river valleys. The Squamish language is critical to the Squamish Nation. It offers a view of modern daily life, and contains the historical record, protocols, laws, and concerns of generations of Squamish people, but is also critically endangered today. This dictionary builds on over 100 years of documentation and research by Squamish speakers working with anthropologists and linguists beginning in the late nineteenth century. The dictionary is also informed by Squamish elders who taught language classes in the 1960s. More recently, the Squamish Language Elders Advisory Group has been involved with and supported the work of the Skwxw7mesh Sníchim dictionary and language recovery initiatives. This important work is a reflection of current knowledge and is designed as a beginner's resource for a diverse audience of learners and scholars, as well as a tool for exploration.
