*Digital Download* Teaching with a Purpose - Shoshone Language

Teaching with a Purpose, A New Approach to Teaching Shoshone is a 36 minute video on DVD that guides Shoshone language learners through a series of videos from basic counting to subtitled Shoshone legends. Sections include “Counting 1-10,” “Clothing,” “Greetings and Responses,” “Visiting Family,” “Frequently Asked Questions and Answers,” “Eagle Visits the Animals, A Short Story,” “A Zo’abich Story,” “Squirrels as Traditional Food,” and “Making Indian Bread.”      The Shoshone language in this video was translated by Shoshone speakers/elders Alfred Jackson, Ilaine Tybo Premo and Brenda Jackson.  The “new approach” was developed using the “old” method of verbally sharing the language.      “Teaching with a Purpose” is written, directed and produced by Fort McDermitt Paiute-Shoshone tribal member Victoria Jackson.
