Cherokee Language Resources

Materials for Cherokee language learning and education are a critical need.  KPEP works to create the Cherokee language materials that teachers and students can use to learn Cherokee from zero to speaker.  We create and adapt materials for early childhood, K-12, and adult learners.  We record Cherokee language speakers and process the recordings for distribution via digital technology.  We conceptualize, develop, edit, and publish books in the Cherokee language.  We provide the tools that teachers and students need to make the most of our recordings and publications.  KPEP develops Cherokee language assessment tools, trains Cherokee language administrators in the use of assessment, and proctors assessments for Cherokee language certification at various levels.

We will be adding Cherokee language resources.
