MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2002 The goal of the Intertribal Wordpath Society in Oklahoma is to "advocate the teaching and elevate the status of Oklahoma-Indian languages in the state through classes in schools and universities, cable television, community groups and individual efforts," The New York Times writes. The group was founded in 1997 by Alice Anderton, a former Comanche language teacher; and Margaret McKane Mauldin, a Creek language expert; and others. It survives on a small $6,000 annual budget and its projects include a cable-tv program, language curriculums and literature to encourage fluency. Get the Story:
