Godiwęnǫhsdeˀ (They cherish their language)

Funded Amount: $60000
Godiwęnǫhsdeˀ (They cherish their language) will pair young second language learners with fluent and/or well-versed speakers in daily tasks speaking only the Cayuga language. This will increase the youths vocabulary and strengthen the survivability of Cayuga for the future as they eventually become teachers. This model of second language acquisition is called the Master-Apprentice approach. *
