LUT123

The third course in the Lushootseed sequence. This course is designed for any individuals interested in using Lushootseed to communicate. The goal of the course is to support the language revitalization efforts of the Puyallup Tribal community and other Lushootseed speaking tribes. We can do this by increasing the visibility of the Lushootseed language, by making it normal to speak Lushootseed, and creating a welcoming environment for the Lushootseed speaking community. We will use the resources developed by the Puyallup Tribal Language Program on their website (PuyallupTribalLanguage.org). LUT 123 reviews similar topics and builds on the conversational and grammatical skills learned in LUT 121 and LUT 122. We will continue to have conversations about what we did today, yesterday or will do tomorrow. We will focus on self-narrating common daily tasks in the kitchen and expanding our language nest (a physical space that we only speak Lushootseed). Kitchen activities will include making coffee, making food, and washing dishes. Topics will become more individualized in this course. For example, some students might learn the vocabulary for shaving their face, putting on makeup, or other activities that are unique to them.
