To teach students how to make Santa Ana pottery and other crafts. In collaboration with Bernalillo Public Schools, Santa Ana has instituted Santa Ana Keres language classes at the elementary level. At the community level, Santa Ana holds language classes for men, women, and children. The women's class integrates hands-on activities such as cooking or making traditional dresses and pottery into the language class. Services are provided at preschool or Head Start programs, elementary schools, or tribal facilities.
Participants range from very young children to middle-aged adults.
Only members of the Santa Ana Pueblo may participate in the program, which began in 1993. The person who teaches the language is fluent in the language, has permission from the tribe to teach the language, has experience as a teacher's aide, and holds degrees in elementary education and educational administration, with a specialization in bilingual education. The director began teaching the language as a volunteer and later received a grant from a private foundation. When the grant elapsed, the director continued as a volunteer. In 1996, the tribe provided funds to hire two elders to teach adults, but the program relied on volunteers to teach children from the Head Start level to high school.
