SUQUAMISH, WASHINGTON – Cut Bank Creek Press, a Native-owned publishing company, will award two $1,500.00 college scholarships to the winners of its first speech contest titled “Speakin’ in Indian.”

Two $1,500.00 College Scholarships

Currently enrolled college students will upload 5 minute video entries to YouTube in response to one of two theses: 1) “Native people and Tribes should expend substantial resources on the preservation/restoration of Native languages and make it a top priority because…”, or alternatively, 2) “Native people and Tribes should not expend their limited resources on the preservation/restoration of Native languages and make it a top priority because…”

One scholarship will be awarded for each argument – the best argument in favor of language preservation and the best argument against making language preservation a priority.
