Due to the ever growing cities and changes in our society, many cultures are slowly changing. Its unfortunate because, eventually there won't be much of it left to be passed on to the next generation. Our individual and unique cultures are part of who we are. I'm doing a research on ways on how to help this specific culture. And it would help me greatly if anyone can suggest/give some ideas related to this.

record the words/language.
take videos, especially of older people talking about their childhoos, the stories of their childhood.
ID art forms that are typical ( like pottery, blankets, silverwork0 and take pictures. Try to get the artist to talk about their work on video and how the art reflects the culture.
Ask the older people what things and phrases were common when they were children that are hardly seen now.

Cultures never die out, they are just modified and replaced. Trying to preserve a culture is pointless. It is like taxidermy. Trying to make a dead animal look alive again, when it's heart is not beating, when it's not breathing or moving.

America is a melting pot and the more everyone blends the better off we are.

a culture dies when there are no people ascribed to it,it is revived when people consider it as their identity
