The instructor for the Toya Band Comanche Language Class is a volunteer who is fluent in the Comanche language. With permission from the tribe to teach the language, she first conducted a class of 15-20 students in Albuquerque and later added a class in Santa Fe. Each class meets one evening per week for two hours at a community setting. The instructor has tried different techniques for teaching the language, the most recent of which is total immersion. Children and adults who are Comanches or spouses of Comanches may participate.
Current participants range in age from older youth to elders.
The only funds supporting the language class are private donations for the purchase of needed supplies. Otherwise, the class relies on volunteers and gets information from the Comanche Language and Cultural Preservation Committee.
