Mescalero Apache Tribe

The Mescalero Apache Tribal Library will work to reverse Apache language loss by forming a partnership with the Mescalero Apache Tribe Language Program. The project will create culturally appropriate Apache language educational materials and provide community members with user-friendly electronic access to those materials. This culturally appropriate Apache language content will be organized around ten "semantic domains:" (1) At Home, (2) Kinship, (3) At School, (4) The Girl's Puberty Feast, (5) The Weather and Environment, (6) The Tribes and Bands, (7) Places and Place Names, (8) Animals, (9) Plants, and (10) Traditional Material Culture.
