Kalispel elders receive teacher permits The Kalispel Tribe moved closer to establishing their cultural center Friday by honoring 16 tribal elders with "Lifetime Instructor Permits." The Camas Institute hopes to have two to three classes in October depending on enrollment. The institute has been developing culturally based educational and training opportunities for Native Americans and the general community. A dinner was given for the tribal elders Friday evening at the Kalispel Community Center in Usk, Wash. http://www.spokesmanreview.com/news-story.asp?date=091501&ID=s1024133&cat=section.Tribal_news

University gets grant for Native American study BILLINGS -- The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a $25,000 grant to Montana State University-Billings to explore how Native Americans have used art, religion and story to survive and adapt over the last 500 years. Details about how those subjects will be studied are still being worked out, but probably will include several seminars or discussion groups during the 2001-2002 academic year, said St. John Robinson, project director. http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?section=local&display=content/local/university.inc
