Crow
Ítchik daluúom! It’s good you’ve come!
We are working together to build a strong Crow language.
Crow Language Consortium is a collective of Crow schools, colleges, and educators that are working to preserve Apsáalooke (the Crow language) to ensure we can pass it on to future generations. We work to support Crow learners and teachers by developing language materials such as textbooks, dictionaries, flashcards, posters and more; by providing access to apps and multimedia; and by organizing intensive teacher training and workshops. Today, we are working with many Crow speakers to certify them as teachers in best-practice teaching methodologies.

In these classrooms, teachers and children don’t just talk about Crow culture, they live the culture through the language. And even though the children may not be fluent yet, they think in Crow.”
