Oregon college first in state to offer Native language


Lane Community College will be the first college in the state to offer a Native language course.

An anonymous donation of $1 million will be used to develop a Native language program. The school hasn't chosen which language to teach but president Mary Spilde says it will come from a Pacific Northwest tribe.

Lane Community College is located in Eugene. Eleven reservations are located within state borders.
