== Teaching and language revitalization efforts ==
The Hopi language has been part of several [[language revitalization]] projects.

In December 2000, [[Public broadcasting|public radio]] station [[KUYI]] 88.1 FM went on the air.  The [[National Public Radio]] affiliate was founded to preserve the Hopi culture and language by broadcasting to the community.  Online streaming was introduced on June 21, 2010.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Locke |first1=Katherine |title=KUYI Hopi Radio brings culture to the airwaves |url=https://www.nhonews.com/news/kuyi-hopi-radio-brings-culture-to-the-airwaves/article_19eaf2d4-1131-5658-91bb-f8af7ba0a0f1.html |website=Navajo-Hopi Observer |access-date=19 May 2025 |date=14 April 2015}}</ref>

A comprehensive [[Hopi Dictionary: Hopìikwa Lavàytutuveni|Hopi-English dictionary]] edited by [[Emory Sekaquaptewa]] and others has been published, and a group, the Hopi Literacy Project, has focused its attention on promoting the language. As of 2013, "a pilot [[language revitalization]] project, the Hopi Lavayi Nest Model Program, for families with children birth through 5," is being planned for the village of [[Sipaulovi, Arizona|Sipaulovi]].<ref>{{Cite news
