This year the theme is “Breaking Trails into the Future; in the VISION spirit of Ch’eghwtsen’.” Healthy, Strong, Unified Tribes Over the past several years our Health Department has grown significantly, making our current health organizational structure work less effectively as it once was.

The reorganization will streamline and improve the quality of services received by patients, while assisting management in streamlining internal processes.

Ehrlander, Committee Member Leslie McCartney, Committee Member Mary E. Ehrlander, Co-Director, Department of Arctic & Northern Studies i Abstract As part of a study of Lower Tanana, I found it expedient to create a learning tool to help myself gain familiarity with Lower Tanana. I chose to employ Anki, an open-source tool for creating digital flash­ card based learning tools. With Anki, I created cards for individual Lower Tanana words and phrases. In producing the computer flashcards for Lower Tanana, I realized that they could serve as a highly flexible system for both preserving and learning Lower Tanana. Further, because of the built-in system flexibility, such systems can be created to aid in preserving and teaching other endangered languages. ii Table of Contents Title Page i Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgments v Introduction 1 Overview 1 My Story 1 Literature Review 2 Documentation of Alaska Native Languages 2 Russian America 2 U.S. Alaska 3 Missionaries as linguists 3 Language policy and status 4 Documentation of Lower Tanana 5 LT documentation begins 5 In-depth documentation begins 5 Available resources 5 Methodology
