The American Indian Studies Research Institute (AISRI) at Indiana University in collaboration with members of the Fort Belknap and Fort Peck communities are working together to produce a complete K-12 Nakóda language curriculum. Incorporating traditional stories narrated by Nakóda elders and beautifully illustrated by Nakóda artists, the children will learn by listening to the words of their elders using twenty-first century technology. This collection of materials in the Smithsonian collections is helping us to incorporate information about Nakóda history and culture to provide a deeper understanding of the language.
