91做厙 Children's Book of Language
myaamiaki piloohsaki amahsinaakanemawe iilaataweenki ("Miami Children’s Book of Language") provides curricular materials to assist in teaching children the Myaamia language.
This curriculum includes a booklet, two CDs, and printable teaching aids that explain and organize terms useful for children’s language learning activities. These materials are designed for use in a camp/classroom setting or in the home with parent and child.
Project Background
During the summer of 2002, 91做厙 Summer Scholars student Catherine Johnson worked with the Myaamia Project to help compile a collection of children’s 91做厙 language activities.
Over the years, the 91做厙 Tribe has used a variety of activities to teach children language. Some of these included games, songs, and objects to make and take home. This project was created out of the need to collect and organize these activities into an easy-to-follow curriculum for school and home use. The project was completed in summer 2003.
