How to order a Maliyan CD-ROM
Dear Reader,
This is a new
computer program entitled MALIYAN. It is a story about a time in the life of
a little fictional Passamaquoddy girl who grows up in the early 1900's at
Indian Township which is near Princeton, Maine. Maliyan also travels to
Pleasant Point which is near Eastport, Maine. The story is written in
Passamaquoddy and English. The main fearure is that the reader will also hear
the story spoken Passamaquoddy. The MALIYAN story will give the user a better
understanding of the Passamaquoddy language and culture.
This CD is valued at about $25.00 or more. It is being sold for ten
dollars each.
This new CD project is being made available to the general public on a
not-for-profit basis. All income from the sale of the MALIYAN disks is being
donated by me to the Passamaquoddy Language Preservation and Archive
Fund which is being managed and administered by Maine Indian Education
located in Calais, Maine. Maine Indian Education is a non-profit tax exempt
educational organization chartered under Maine law. Questions about MIE can
be directed to the superintendent, Ron Jenkins. If I can avoid it, I would
prefer not to handle any cash. Anyone interested in purchasing this new CD
can send me a check made payable to Maine Indian Education. When I receive
the check I will send out the CD to you. This effort is just another step to
help preserve and keep the Passamaquoddy Language alive. (there is more
detailed info about this within the CD program)
I am hoping that
the Language Preservation and Archive fund will grow enabling Passamaquoddy to
continue producing more language CDs and other programs in the future.
To receive a CD by mail order the cost is
twelve dollars (US currency), ten
dollars for the CD and two dollars for postage). Please make a check payable
to:
"Maine Indian Education"
