AUTHOR: Fred Tasker, Knight Ridder Newspapers
(BLACKFEET RESERVATION, BROWNING, MONTANA)- "Tsa nii ksistikowatts sa-ahsi?" teacher Shirley Crowshoe asks her class of elementary students sitting in a circle on a thick rug in a bright, modern classroom. "What kind of day is it outside?"
Jessie DesRosier, 13, is quick to raise his hand: "Sugapii ksisko, ahstosopo," he says. "Nice day, cold wind."
Jessie is one of a handful younger than 60 in the 15,000-member tribe on this isolated reservation who can speak its native language. He's one of 31 students in a total immersion school in the Blackfeet language and culture set up by Darrell Kipp, Harvard-trained historian of the Blackfeet Tribe, and teacher Dorothy Still Smoking.
They created it because too few Blackfeet children knew the tribe's language and customs.
