More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
When an ethnic group starts losing their language, they begin to lose their identity too and soon the culture is dead, causing sometimes social problems (drugs, alcoholism, gangs). This is why in our program learning by playing we support different ethnic groups in the preservation of the language starting with little kids, we have done 6 articles as didactic material that help the bicultural mentors, to teach the kids their maternal language with the goal of preserving their cultural identity.
Activities
With the elaboration of this didactic material the native teachers will have a tool that's going to help them to carry on programs for the preservation of the yaqui and mayo languages and also the entire society will have a view of these cultures.

Latest Update from the Field
News from Sonora Mexico
By Maria Inmaculada Puente A. - Lutisuc Manager, August 05, 2008 07:10 PM
Concerning the other material of our project, we’re very pleased to inform you that it’s ready and on its way to be printed!! As you remember they’re going to be two: a story and a coloring book, in Mayo language and Spanish. Instead of that, as second thoughts, we decided to create The Yoreme Mayo Marathon!! A bilingual board game with 240 questions about the Mayo history, culture and tradition, that the kids, and adults why not?, can play in teams over and over. An NGO from Spain is helping us to print it. That’s why, now our new project is with the Kickapoo People of Sonora. We invite you to take a look of it.
This group has an interesting history; Kickapoo means “stands here and there” and since the XVII century began a long journey south from the Great Lakes area in North America. Some of them arrived in Sonora a hundred years ago, and time and distance from the mother land have bring them to a delicate position: soon they will forget who they are… they’re going to loose their identity. Something it has to be done.
This August we’re sponsoring an artistic stimulation workshop with Kickapoo kids in –Tamichopa, Bacerac- their community, a tiny little town in northeast Sonora, Mexico. And with their drawings and paintings we’ll design a lottery and a memory game, where you could find animals, colors, the people, the family and the traditions, in the three languages use by the Kickapoo people: Kickapoo, English and Spanish. Later on, we’ll send you another update with the latest news!
