Wyoming, USA (Star Tribune): Since 2002, Reba Teran, the Eastern Shoshone language coordinator, has been working with three Shoshone elders on the reservation to compile the most comprehensive phonetic dictionary and audio record of the tribe's language yet assembled. She has been digitally recording the elders for going on six years now, as they've painstakingly pronounced 14,000-plus words and phrases in a cramped, makeshift recording studio. She has also been creating and producing a basic multimedia Shoshone language course for schools and tribal members.
