Frequently Asked Questions

We all know and recognize that there is a cost associated with manufacturing small run printed materials. CLC works to create durable, high-quality materials that will stand up over time in a variety of environments like classrooms or your home. Many Crow Language learners bring their materials to Language Weekends and local study groups. Each product is manufactured to withstand the wear and tear of repetitive daily use.

Proceeds from these materials allow us to provide high-quality materials for the Crow communities, K-12 schools, Colleges, and language programs we serve. As more and more language materials are created, our efforts will continue to focus on creating high-quality materials that can be used long-term and shared with others.

As technology progresses, we will continue to improve and update digital materials as well.  CLC is focused on interactive ways to leverage digital materials for language learning. If you see an opportunity to help us future reduce costs feel free to reach out.

CLC abides by the US and international copyright laws, which clearly define what can and cannot be copyrighted. To put it simply, no one can copyright a language.

Authors can copyright a specific sequence of words or sentences that they put together in books, songs, poems, or digital applications and media.

As author and developer, copyright statements are placed on CLC materials to acknowledge CLC’s right to make copies of the materials.  When requested, CLC also allows schools and individuals to also make copies of its materials for educational reasons. CLC relies on copyright to ensure the quality and reliability of the Crow language content and format.
