Myaamia Project becomes Myaamia Center at Miami University

OXFORD, OH (FOX19) - Miami University is expanding the Myaamia Project by launching the Myaamia Center on the Oxford campus.

The center will carry forward the work of revitalizing Myaamia language and culture that began through the project more than a decade?ago.

The Myaamia Center is a tribally directed research entity with two main purposes. The first is to conduct in-depth research to assist tribal educational initiatives aimed at the preservation of language and culture. This research creates a wide range of educational models and materials for community language and cultural programs.

The second purpose is to expose undergraduate and graduate students at Miami University to tribal efforts in revitalizing their language and culture. Students gain experience through a wide range of activities including visits to tribal headquarters in Oklahoma, direct involvement in research initiatives, class visitations by center staff and access to Miami Tribe language and cultural resources.
