SANTA FE, N.M. - Word swept through the Mescalero reservation like an early
winter wind that characters in the film "The Missing" spoke a dialect of
Apache.

Most adult Apaches in the audiences have said they could understand every
word of the Chiricahua dialect ? and the children suddenly wished they
could, too.

That's what Mescalero councilman Berle Kanseah and Chiricahua linguist
Elbys Hugar intended as technical advisers for the Ron Howard (news) film,
a tough tale of 19th century frontier life starring Tommy Lee Jones (news)
and Cate Blanchett (news) that has been in theaters for about three weeks.

Television and popular culture are killing minority cultures, starting with
language, Kanseah said.
