Title: LiveAndTell, A Crowdsourced Quest To Save Native American Languages
Body: From http://www.fastcompany.com/1764575/liveandtell-a-south-dakotans-quest-to-save-endangered-dialect In an attempt to preserve endangered indigenous dialects such as Lakota and Ho Chunk, South Dakota-based programmer Biagio Arobba has built LiveAndTell, a user-generated content site for sharing and learning Native languages. It can work for any language, but his passion is to preserve the endangered tongues you won't find in textbooks, language programs, or widely taught in classrooms. LiveAndTell lets users create "audio tags" for pictures, similar to tagging on Facebook or Flickr. An audio recorder allows a Lakota speaker to record a message with each picture. They can also post a series of audio or text below each picture. In essence, it’s Flickr meets Rosetta Stone. The pictures and album can be embedded into other websites as well. LiveAndTell has no upfront participation fees; users can sign in and start creating content immediately.

Title: Oklahoma Breath of Life: Native American Language Program Gets Funded for Another Year
Body: From http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/07/native-american-language-program-gets-funded-for-another-year Native American Language Program Gets Funded for Another Year By ICTMN Staff July 2, 2011 The Oklahoma Breath of Life — Silent No More program recently received a $90,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to hold another weeklong workshop next year. The first workshop was held last summer at the University of Oklahoma’s Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. It was designed to give participants the tools to help revitalize endangered Native American languages. Oklahoma Breath of Life was modeled after a program at the University of California, Berkeley, where a biannual workshop is held for California Indians whose languages have no fluent speakers. The next Oklahoma Breath of Life workshop will be held May 20 to 25, 2012.
