The Yuchi Language Project is a 501(c)(3) organization designed to keep alive the rich heritage of the Yuchi people by creating new young speakers of the unique language through breath-to-breath immersion methods with fluent elders and children.
The Yuchi House in Sapulpa, Oklahoma has become a home for the language where Yuchi people ages 3 months to 93 years come together every day to live in the language and embrace yUdjEhalA, the Yuchi way. The community-based program started in 1996 and has created 16 second language speakers who are competent to teach the language. Yuchi Language Project (YLP) serves the entire Yuchi community through language classes for all ages, culture camps, master-apprentice sessions, curriculum development, and by providing a wide range of opportunities for youth. The Yuchi elders and cultural values guide the collective work of the YLP.
