“After I played with it I cried.
This will help save our language.”

-Chad Smith, Tribal Chairman of The Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma.

“I hope the language tool will help create fluent speakers and the languages of the Cheyenne and Arapaho won't be lost in translation."

-Quinton Roman Nose, Director of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Education Department..
