UPDATE MOHEGAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM

I HAVE RECEIVED E-MAILS ON THE SUBJECT OF THE MOHEGAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM. THE E-MAILS SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE GUNG HO ABOUT IT IN THE BEGINNING, BUT PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPORTING IT. THEY SAID ARE YOU USING THE C-D? ARE YOU USING THE DICTIONARY?

I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY AN INSIDER, THAT THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS HAD CONTRACTED FOR ABOUT EIGHTEEN LANGUAGE CLASSES FOR A THREE MONTH PERIOD. I HEARD THAT ABOUT SEVENTY FIVE WERE ACTUALLY GIVEN BETWEEN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL TO THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST. I HEARD THAT THE TEACHER HAD ABOUT TEN CLASSES IN WHICH SHE ARRIVED FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLY AND WAITED FIFTEEN MINUTES PAST THE START TIME AND NO ONE SHOWED UP. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW ABOUT THIS? IF YOU SO, PLEASE COMMENT?

I ASKED A TRIBAL COUNCILOR ABOUT WHETHER THEY HAD ASKED THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS TO CUT THEIR BUDGET, RESULTING IN THE LANGUAGE PROGRAM BEING CUT? . I WAS TOLD THE TRIBAL COUNCIL DID NOT DO THAT.

TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A WRITTEN RESPONSE PROMISED TO ME BY A COUNCILOR OF THE ELDERS

EDITORIAL NOTE: THIS IS AN EDITORIAL WEBSITE. THE PURPOSE IS TO GIVE OPINIONS, IDEAS AND FACTS, SO THAT THE TRIBE CAN BE BETTER INFORMED.

COMING SOON A READERS COMMENT SECTION, I WILL BRING E-MAILS OVER SO THEY CAN BE SHARED WITH MY READERS. I ASK THAT YOUR COMMENTS NOT USE OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. I REQUEST THAT YOU CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING . I BELIEVE IN FREE SPEACH AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE SENTENCES.I DO NOT WANT TO CENSOR YOUR E-MAILS. I WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR E-MAILS COMPLETELY. I ALSO WANT TO CONTINUE TO SET THE STANDARD THAT EVEN MOHEGAN CHILDREN CAN READ THE WEBSITE.

I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY SOMEONE, I GREATLY APPRECIATE , THAT I MAY BE BEING TOO CRITICAL. THEY FELT I SHOULD TONE IT DOWN A BIT AND BE KINDER AND MORE RESPECTFUL, SINCE I VALUE MY READERS , I WILL ENDEVOR TO DO THAT.
