All other reproduction is restricted by copyright. Copyright: Northern Arapaho Tribe, Ethete, Wyoming, USA, 2012 1 This edition of the Arapaho dictionary has several new features compared to previous editions. First, an effort has been made to include new words for modern items. This includes the results of meetings held in June 2008 and March 2012 by elders specifically to create new words, and also words in use at the Ethete and Arapahoe Immersion schools that have been documented. This also includes detailed words for activities such as basketball, which were not included in earlier editions. New entries exist for e-mail, text-message, website, homepage, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, cell-phone, and a number of other items. In some cases, no official new word has been designated, and no word seems to be in popular use, but an individual elder has suggested a word. These are labeled "suggested word" in the accompanying entry.

    STATEMENT OF CLARENA M. BROCKIE MEMBER, MONTANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DEAN OF STUDENTS, AANIIIH NAKODA COLLEGE – HARLEM, MONTANA UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS HEARING ON S. 2299 AND S. 1948 Wednesday June 18, 2014 Mr. Chairman and distinguished members of the Committee, my name is Clarena M. Brockie, and I am Aaniiih (Gros Ventre) from Montana. Both of my parents are enrolled as Gros Ventre. I am proud to represent Montana’s 32nd District, which includes the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy Indian Reservations, in our state’s House of Representatives. I am also the Dean of Students of the Aaniiih Nakoda College in Harlem, Montana. Aaniiih Nakoda College was chartered by the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council in 1984. We are a small school with a big mission, serving approximately 225 students per semester, most of whom are members of one of the two tribes on our reservation. Thank for inviting me to testify at this hearing examining legislation to strengthen efforts to preserve and revitalize our Native languages. It is an honor to be given an opportunity to speak on behalf of the many people who cannot stand here today, but I know they are with me in spirit. Aaniiih Nakoda College, along with the nation’s other 36 Tribal Colleges and Universities, which collectively are the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, AIHEC, support S.1948 and S. 2299, both of which would help us as we work to ensure the survival and continuing vitality of Native American Languages. Current Status of Native Languages The Committee knows the dire situation we face as Indian people in terms of the loss of our languages, homelands, and identity, so I will not recite all of the statistics.
