UND awards fluent Nu’eta speaker with honorary degree

This story was filed on

Dear Tiger Lily Reader:

Here is a column from Doreen Yellow Bird, regarding the University of North Dakota. The school awarded Edwin Benson, the last fluent Mandan speaker, with an honorary degree. See my other posts about Benson. Join the Twin Buttes community in reviving the Nu’eta language. Learn words from the language here on Tiger Lily. I am posting new words regularly. I also expect to post audio clips to the words.
