CW 101 Chinuk Wawa
Chinuk Wawa is the original universal language of the Pacific Northwest, spoken in intertribal settings and multi-lingual homes from Southeast Alaska to Northern California. In collaboration with the language education program of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, this course teaches Chinuk Wawa through daily listening, speaking, writing, and reading of Chinuk Wawa, as well as discussion of the cultures of people who spoke and still speak the language. Chinuk Wawa 101 is the first course of a three-term sequence in which students achieve beginning oral, literate, and cultural competency in Chinuk Wawa at the first-year college level.
