University of Utah program helps Shoshone youths keep language alive (Deseret News)

SALT LAKE CITY — Young people hoping to rescue Shoshone from the brink of being an endangered language got a boost from the University of Utah this summer.

This was the second year of the six-week Shoshone Youth Language Apprenticeship Program, which provided college-credit language instruction and paid, hands-on experience for nine Shoshone and Goshute high school students from throughout the Great Basin region.
