University to offer Eastern Shoshone language

Reba Teran, a member of the Eastern Shoshone, will teach the Shoshone language at the University of Wyoming this fall.

Teran grew up speaking Shoshone on the Wind River Reservation. She now serves as the language coordinator at the Eastern Shoshone Cultural Center.

“My work with the Eastern Shoshone language has made me fluent again," Teran said. “I dream in Shoshone now. It’s a lively and vibrant language and I'm excited to have the opportunity to teach it at UW.”

The class is part of UW's American Indian Studies Program and the Department of Modern and Classical Languages.
