Quinault Indian Nation

The Quinault Indian Nation will develop a Quinault language vocabulary builder application in partnership with The Language Conservancy. The project will revitalize the Quinault language through offering access to a mobile, free language learning tool. Importantly, the application can be used with or without internet connection after it has been downloaded, enabling language learners in rural areas without reliable internet to use this language resource. The application will feature a pronunciation guide so that users can learn Quinault pronunciations as well as how to read Quinault orthography. Funds will also support a release event including demonstrations on using the application and participants will be surveyed following the event to gauge effectiveness. The project will benefit the more than 3,470 members of the Quinault Indian Nation.
