Miwok

• During the 1980s two textbooks were prepared for use in school language programs on Northern Sierra Miwok: Northern Sierra Miwuk Language, by Catherine A. Callaghan and Brian Bibby (1985), and Let's Learn Northern Sierra Miwuk: A Northern Sierra Miwuk Language/Cultural Curriculum Guide, by Catherine A. Callaghan and Brian Bibby (1985). Both were published by the San Juan Unified School District, Indian Bilingual Program, Carmichael, CA. Title VII support for the Northern Sierra Miwok Language Program has been terminated, but teaching and curriculum development continue (see BrianBibby, "Preserving the Miwok Language: A Grassroots Effort," News From Native California 4(3), Spring 1990, p. 46). Recent efforts have focused on self-teaching methods, including use of the Language Master machine.
