LANGUAGE PRESERVATION
The initial phase of the Growing Ute Living Language Program created an online Ute Dictionary, a Ute language mobile app, Ute signage for community facilities, a Growing Ute Storybook, Speak Ute All the Time public service announcements, and an Indigenous film, We Are Nuchu, which won multiple Gold Telly Awards in 2022.
Ute Mobile Dictionary
Over 20 Ute Mountain Ute Tribe elders, youth and Tiwahe staff have been working to preserve the language of the Tribe since 2018 alongside The Language Conservancy. The results include a 10,000-word Ute online dictionary, Google Play App and Apple App. Elders recorded the pronunciation of the Ute words to go into the online platforms to make it easier for learners.
The Ute Mountain Ute Mobile Dictionary is the best way to look up Ute words and hear pronunciation while on the go. It’s the ultimate electronic Ute learning and reference tool.
• More than 3,000 Ute entries
• More than 1,000 Linked Cross References
• More than 4,000 English Reversal Entries
Available for download at the Apple Store and Google Play.
