Our Mission
We're bringing together language students and experts to preserve our languages and pass them on to the next generation. Together, we'll create resources to support learners on our language journey. Join us in keeping our languages alive and thriving!
On Going Process
We are continuously seeking new ways to expand our knowledge and understanding of our languages. Through research, collaboration, and community engagement, we strive to gather and share as much information as possible to support the preservation and revitalization of our languages.
Available Classes
These classes are hosted and available through the Culture & Language Department as they have in-person meet-ups with the Zoom option!
The MHA Nation Language Program offers a variety of resources for learning our language, including online and in-person classes held every week. These classes are open to anyone interested in learning and preserving our native language.
In addition to regular classes, MHA Nation is actively working with local schools to incorporate language learning into the curriculum. This includes partnering with Maagarishda Hidatsa Headstart to provide language instruction to our youngest tribal community members.
Let’s work together to revitalize and celebrate our language heritage.
