I do not know what exactly the law says, but I believe the organization has to provide the interpreter.  I have absolutely nothing to back up my claim, though.  I would go talk with the school board and ask them.

No not really. I think they want everyone to be a clone of them!\n\nBecause of English, many native Americans are losing their language and their culture.\n\nA culture is a very important part of ones self and very few have a culture only of America.\n\nI think they see it more as a political slap at the 363 other languages spoken in America.\n\nFunny that not long ago German missed by one vote to become the official language of the US!

Indian giver is an American English expression used for any individual who gives something and then either takes it back or wants to take it back.\n\nThe expression Indian giver is based on the belief that Native Americans would lend items to the settlers, in other words, let them borrow necessities. The settlers thought that this was a gift from the Native Americans; hence, they were shocked when the Native Americans asked for their items back.\n\nThe expression also may have derived from the Native American tribes lack of a conception of property rights, which would have been an alien notion to European settlers. Most tribes utilized only communal property standards.\n\nSome consider the phrase a racial stereotype because using the term to denote a person who takes back what they previously gave implies that Native Americans might commonly practice this. It also uses the term Indian to denote Native American, which can be offensive to some.

Start here: http://www.native-languages.org/blackfoot_culture.htm\n\nAmerican Indians relied on oral traditions, so you will have to identify your particular tribe and see if anyone knows its oral history. You will not find much useful help on Yahoo Answers about your particular family history.

It depends on the language.  Many universities have courses in various Native American languages.  The University of Oklahoma has perhaps the most course offerings in this area.\n\nMany Native nations offer courses in their ancestral languages as well, especially for the young people of that nation, because so many Native languages are endangered.\n\nOne can also attempt to learn certain languages by using the teaching materials that native speakers and linguists have developed in order to teach such courses.  For example, anyone can purchase the book "Teach Yourself Mohawk," which is available through amazon.com and other retail outlets.\n\nIn my opinion, it's always best to learn from a native speaker, even though some teaching materials (like "Teach Yourself Mohawk") include tapes to help learners with pronunciation.

There is no single Native American language.  Many tribes, many languages.

First do a search for the names of Native American Tribes.  That will give you a good start for all the information you will need.

My advice would be to check with the Native American Rights Fund, (www.narf.org).  Their entire existence involves such issues.  Most surround the US government's violation of existing treaties with tribal groups, illegal selling of native antiquities, and the refusal of the US government to officially recognize tribal groups.  I suspect there are many others issues as well.

Who lives like they used to?  How many grandmothers still go to a creek to fetch the day's water here in America?\n\nSome Native Americans live on reservations and many don't; others have chosen varying degrees of assimilation. \n\nIt's unlikely that any entire group speaks with one voice,  except that they may be unified in wanting non-indigenous people to leave the Americas.  Then perhaps the first of them that arrived across the land bridge will want the second group that arrived that way to leave, too.\n\nProbably there is enough reservation land to accommodate those who would like to live like they used to; they could choose environmental policies to foster herds of bison, and streams full of fish and assume the ways of their ancestors.\n\nI am 1/8 Indian, my children are 1/4.  We only found out after the deaths of our parents on both sides. Obviously, assimilation took place many years ago, and while we might like to experience some of what our ancestors did to live, it would not be forever.
