30805 Kanza Awakening "The Kaw Nation has maintained a department for the preservation and education of the tribal language since the late 1990s. Beginning in the Summer of 2001, the Kanza Language Project was formed as the result of an Language Implementation grant from the Administration for Native Americans. Between 2001 and 2005 the Project focused on teaching Kanza to local elementary school children, but also ventured into adult education and document publication. Since 2005, we have focused on the documentation of available Kanza language and cultural resources, expansion of educational opportunities at the tribal level, and the development and distribution of multimedia materials."
