Dictionary of the Arapaho Language First Edition by Zdenek Salzmann, 1983 Second Edition by Jeffrey Anderson, Arapahoe School, and Northern Arapaho Language and Culture Commission, 1998 Third Edition by Alonzo Moss, Sr. and Avalene Moss Glenmore, 2002 Fourth Edition by Andrew Cowell, with Alonzo Moss, Sr., William C'Hair, Wayne C'Hair, Arapahoe Immersion School, and elders of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, 2012 Permission is hereby granted to all individuals and institutions of the Northern Arapaho Tribe and Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribe to reproduce this document as needed for personal and educational use, as well as to any educational institution which offers instruction in the Arapaho language, for the same uses. 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. Secondly, more examples have been added for many entries, and clarifications of meaning and part of speech have been added as well, to make the dictionary more complete and easier to use. Third, an effort has been made to standardize spellings, especially where the same word is spelled differently in different entries. A "formal" spelling style has been used. The biggest difference between this formal style and everyday speech comes in words like Nih'oo3oo 'white man,' which in everyday speech would often be said Nihoo3oo, or booo 'road,' which in everyday speech would often be said bo'o. Speakers can easily pronounce the words in this way if they want, and even write them this way, but here we have tried to produce the slow, careful pronunciation. The main reason for this is that users can always "reduce" words from nih'oo3oo to nihoo3oo or booo to bo'o if they want, but if only nihoo3oo and bo'o are listed, it is very hard for non-native speakers to go back to the "full" form and know what is missing. Wherever you see three vowels in a row, for example, feel free to pronounce them as vowel-stop-vowel. Fourth, we have tried to add more colorful and fun words, to allow users to spice up their conversation. See the entries for 'heck' or 'darn' or 'lost' (gambling) or 'drunk.' Fifth, we have added place names for Oklahoma, expanding beyond the Northern Arapaho area, as well as names for plants and animals of that area. In a number of cases, old words documented in archives have been included, though they may not be in use any longer. Sixth, some personal names of important individuals have been added. Finally, we have put (?) question marks after entries which are unclear, at least to the editor. We suspect that the spelling or meaning may be wrong in these entries, but have not been able to check them yet. They could be correct, however: the question marks reflect the limitations of Andrew Cowell's knowledge of Arapaho, perhaps. But users should ideally check with an elder before using forms with (?) after them. Be aware that there are many thousands of additional words which could still be added, many documented in notes and texts recorded by Andrew Cowell. Many of these words refer to old cultural items or practices, or to specific birds, animals, plants, or place names. There are also many uncommon (but often highly expressive) words which we hope to add to a future edition. 2 Pronunciation and the Arapaho Alphabet Consonants: b, c, h, k, n, s, t, 3, w, x, y, ' Vowels: e, i, o, u Short vowels: e as in English 'bet' i as in English 'bit' o as in English 'hot' u as in English 'put' Long vowels: ee as in English 'bat' but held longer ii as in English 'beat' but held longer oo as in English 'caught' but held longer uu as in English 'food' but held longer Triple vowels: Triple vowels occur with either a pronunciation ée-é, íi-í, óo-ó and úu-ú or else with a pronunciation é-ee, í-ii, ó-oo, ú-uu.

    BRF PUBLIC SCHOOLS HISTORY CURRICULUM RELATED TO AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES GRADES 8-12 COMPONENT The following materials represent ongoing work related to the infusion of American Indian history into the History curriculum of the Black River Falls Public Schools. Our efforts in this area have been ongoing for over 20 years and reflect the spirit of Wisconsin Act 31. SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE Paul S Rykken Michael Shepard US History and Politics US History BRFHS BRF Middle School Infusion Applications 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Infusion Task Force was established in December of 2009 for the purpose of improving our efforts regarding the infusion of American Indian history and cultural awareness throughout the BRF Public School K-12 Social Studies Curriculum. This action occurred within the context of several other factors, including the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ho-chunk Nation and the School District and the establishment of a Ho-chunk language offering at BRFHS. Our infusion efforts go back to the early 1990s and were originally spurred by the Wisconsin Legislature’s passage of Act 31 related to the teaching of Native American history and culture within Wisconsin’s public schools. The following link will take you to a paper that more fully explains our approach since the early 1990s: http://www.brf.org/sites/default/files/users/u123/InfusionUpdate09.pdf THE 8-12 COMPONENT As with any curriculum-related project, what follows is not the final word. We do our work in an ever- changing environment. The lessons and information included here, however, reflect the most recent (and complete) record of what we are doing within our 8-12 curriculum.

    Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019 Introduction Lake Granby, approximately 7,250 surface acres when full, is one of the largest coldwater reservoirs in the state. It is the main storage reservoir in the west slope portion of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project which supplies water to the northern Front Range through the Adams Tunnel at Grand Lake. It is a focal point of the Grand County tour- ism economy and offers many amenities. Recreational access is managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area. The recreational fishery of Granby is dominated by lake trout (aka mackinaw) and hosts the highest density of the species that has been documented in Colorado. Kokan- ee salmon have been stocked in Granby since 1951 to pro- vide recreational opportunity, a prey base to produce tro- phy lake trout, and spawning adults are captured annually to provide eggs for restocking. Rainbow trout of various sizes are also stocked and there is a moderate density of self-sustaining brown trout. Suckers and mottled sculpin Figure 1. Lake Granby are also present.

IRB protocol # 130411 Abstract Vagner, Irina A. (MA, Linguistics) Language Revitalization on the Web: Technologies and Ideologies among the Northern Arapaho Thesis directed by Professor Andrew J. Cowell With the advances in web technologies, production and distribution of the language learning resources for language revitalization have become easy, inexpensive and widely accessible. However, not all of the web-based language learning resources stimulate language revitalization. This thesis explores the language ideologies used and produced by the Algonquian language learning resources to determine the most successful way to further develop online resources for the revitalization of the Arapaho language with the Arapaho Language Project. The data was collected on Algonquian language learning websites as well as during field research on the Wind River Indian Reservation; this field research included observing Arapaho language classrooms and conducting a usability survey of the Arapaho Language Project.
