This is Session 1 of the Summer 2026 series of Learn Kiowa Zoom Sessions, launched by Dr. Redbird-Post, 2022 Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow, in conjunction with LearnKiowa.org. Summer 2026 Session 1 of Learn Kiowa Session for Kiowa Language Teacher Candidates and current Credentialed Level 1 and Level 2 Kiowa Language Teachers for Level 1 and Level 2 Kiowa Language Learning focused on: listening and hearing the interpretation of each speaker in the Kiowa Culture Program (KCP) recording tape #017 – Social Activities Welfare and Health and KCP recording tape #114 – Games of the Kiowa, where each Elder gave their translation of what each speaker shared during the recording; reviewed the corresponding English transcriptions of the recordings #017-Social Activities Welfare and Health and #114-Games of the Kiowa; Receiving feedback from our Kiowa Elder Mentors; and questions from participants.
These sessions will be offered on Wednesdays, weekly, during the summer months (June-August) from 6:30pm-8:30pm. There is no set agenda for these summer sessions, as the topics are determined by the participants. These sessions will support those who are interested in becoming Level 1 Credentialed Kiowa Language Teachers as well as currently credentialed Level 1 and Level 2 Credentialed Kiowa Language Teachers interested in growing their Kiowa language skills. Breakout rooms in Zoom will be used to support individual areas of the credentialing process. Updates from the Kiowa Language Credentialing Board members will be shared when available.
LearnKiowa.org is a community-based, grassroots website launched by the Post Family and led by Dr. Redbird-Post with the goal of providing Kiowa language learners, interested Kiowa parents, and teachers of Kiowa children and students of all ages with an online archive of Kiowa language teaching and learning materials arranged by age group. Made possible by the First Nations Development Institute and the 2022 Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship.
