One of those lead tribes, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, is also working to bring back its language. Younger members are making Nisenan flash cards and children's books. Language director Jonathan Geary wants children learning Nisenan "just by hearing it spoken to them." Need a word for the parade? Otter is K'o.
