Grade Levels K-1 A series of elementary level thematic units featuring Haida language, culture and history were developed in Ketchikan and Hydaburg, Alaska in 2004-6. The project was funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Haida Language Immersion Program - Boosting Academic Achievement grant #S356A030046, awarded to the Sealaska Heritage Teacher Institute. Lessons and units were written by a team including Jordan Lachler, project director and linguist Resources specializing in documenting and revitalizing Native American languages. Lachler heads up the local field office of the Sealaska Heritage Institute in Ketchikan. Cherilyn Holter (T’áaw Kúns) grew up in Hydaburg, raised by her grandparents, Willis and Hazel Bell and has worked with the remaining fluent Haida Elders for years. She taught the Haida language to students since returning to Hydaburg in 1990. Linda Schrack (Skíl Jáadei) grew up in Ketchikan, spending a great deal of time with her grandparents, Robert and Nora Cogo. She worked for many years in the field of early childhood education, and is an accomplished Native artist and traditional Haida dance group leader. Julie Folta, a cultural curriculum specialist with years of experience developing and teaching thematic, child- centered curriculum in rural Alaska also contributed to lessons and Annie Calkins edited final drafts of the units. All units are available online at sealaskaheritage.org.
