The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Low Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) received a $322,300 project grant award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Indian Economic Development program (CFDA 15.032) to revitalize their three tribal languages - Miluk, Hanis, and Shayuushtha U Quuiich Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw - between June 2022 and December 2023. The funding will support oral tradition protocol development, digital transcription of language materials for an online archive, and production of language learning kits including books, games and other materials in each of the three languages. The project aims to increase the capacity of the Tribe's language education program and strengthen language proficiency and use among learners and speakers.
