Rama Language Revitalization Project: "By the mid-eighties, the Ramas found themselves in the midst of discussions for the autonomy of their region, which included claims by all ethnic groups of the region to the use and development of their ethnic languages. This is how a delegation of Ramas from Rama Cay approached the Sandinista authorities of Bluefields in 1984 to ask for help in saving their Rama language. A "Rama Language Project?" (RLP) originally aiming at the revitalization of the Rama language was initiated in the mid-eighties. It was sponsored by CIDCA (Centro de Investigación y Documentación de la Costa Atlántica), the institution in charge of research in the region, including all language programs. Linguistic salvage work and language revitalization work of the RLP were coordinated from 1985 to 1993 by Colette (Grinevald) Craig, then from the University of Oregon, with the assistance of Bonny Tibbitts."
