Native Voices Endowment Announces Request for Proposals
The Endangered Language Fund is accepting applications for the Native Voices Endowment: A Lewis & Clark Expedition Bicentennial Legacy.
Funding from the program comes from the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council, which received the revenues from the U.S. Mint's sale of the Lewis and Clark 2004 Commemorative Coin. Grants through the program will be available to members of Native American tribes that came in contact with the Lewis and Clark Expedition between 1803-1806.
Grants are available for work on documentation and revitalization of the languages of these tribes. Principal Investigators must be enrolled tribal members or employees of tribal colleges. Scholarships for academic work in linguistics or the Native language, or for Master/Apprentice programs, are also available for tribal members.
The complete Request for Proposals and list of eligible tribes are available at the ELF Web site.
