Over the summer, the Pacific Northwest English study team, led by Professor Alicia Beckford Wassink, created a website, "A Sociolinguists’ Eye-View" in partnership with the Yakama Nation Language Program and Cultural Committee that brings together information about the cultural and linguistic history of the Yakama people, including language contact and dialect formation. The website was recommended to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Office of Native Education, to be included on the John McCoy “Since Time Immemorial” Tribal Sovereignty educational curriculum for Washington state, under RCW 28A.320.170.
