JUNE 6, 2000 Acording to Darryl Kipp of the Piegan Institute in Montana, less than 20 of the 185 Native languages used today will survive in the next 50 years. Efforts around Indian Country to preserve languages have been the focus of many tribes who have slowly lost their own languages. The Pauite Preschool Language Immersion Program of the Paiute Tribe of Utah, the Punano Leo program for the Hawaiian language and programs by the the Blackfeet tribe of Montana, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada, and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada are some of the efforts being undertaken.
