Da Nzho, Wonderful things are happening with the tribe and I am happy to announce another! In order to carry out the objectives as stated on the Lipan Apache Tribe of TX Mission Statement, which could be found in the Tribal By-Laws, our Chairman (Bernard Barcena) has created the Language Preservation Committee. The committee consists of general members of the Tribe and is chaired by the Homeland Administrator (myself). The committee also consists of David Gohre (Tribal Linguist) as our Consultant for the committee. The committee had its first meeting January 24, 2009 to set forth goals and objectives needed to assure the preservation of the Lipan Language. The committee also discussed issues which needed to be resolved to carry out these goals and objectives. Minutes of this meeting can be found on the Tribal website: If you feel you have any information, ideas, or input for the committee which you would like to share, to help with the preservation of our language, please contact me at: Your input is very important to us and our project to preserve the Lipan Language. More to come..............., Tom Castillo Homeland Administrator Lipan Apache Tribe of TX |
