Activities

The SSBMI Language Department has created fun activity sheets which you can use to help learn Nisenan and Northern Sierra Miwok.

On this webpage, you can access Nisenan and Miwok coloring pages, word searches, and other resources that you can use to practice at home.

Esak’ábe mi? (Do you know?)

The SSBMI Language Department is working to create our own cards for playing "Go Fish!" that feature animals rather than standard playing cards. Here, you can find activity sheets that you can use to learn about these animals and their Nisenan and Northern Sierra Miwok names.

Menekɨ́m siyéebe hedém website-í? (Who makes this website?)

This website is maintained by SSBMI Language Department staff in order to share Nisenan and Miwok language learning resources with the Tribal Membership and other learners. Our current team consists of: Jonathan Geary, Richenda Ervin, and Skye Anderson. The Nisenan and Miwok audio recordings that you will find on this website are recordings of Jonathan, Richenda, and Skye. We are all learners of the Nisenan and Miwok languages, and we hope that you will join us in learning Nisenan and Miwok too!

If you would like a copy of these activity sheets and cannot print them at home, please visit the SSBMI Language Department in the SSBMI Tribal Administration building or contact us at language@ssband.org.
