Language Renewal in Native American Communities.

Highlighting language renewal programs, this book presents case studies from various North American communities that show tribal stories as vehicles of moral development, healing, and the construction of identity. Several essays describe successful efforts to maintain, revitalize, and renew narrative traditions or to adapt them to new institutions, such as schools.
