The mission of the Umóⁿhoⁿ Language and Culture Center is:

• • to revive Umóⁿhoⁿ language use by the children and people of our community by creating language experiences that allow our children to learn from our Elders and Culture Teachers;

  • to nurture the use of spoken Umóⁿhoⁿ through the teaching of cultural values and beliefs of our people;

  • to develop “hands-on” materials for life-experience language acquisition;

  • to use research-based methods of language instruction;

  • to develop and train Umóⁿhoⁿ speakers to teach others;

  • to develop speakers from a community of “Active Listeners” with the intent they become Teacher / Learners;

  • to promote the community-wide use of the existing standardized orthography (writing system); and

  • to secure the status of Umóⁿhoⁿ Language as a “World Language” at the Nebraska Department of Education.
