@AlaskaWx @DinjiiZhuh Cool, Iʼm working on some sentences about hearing birds for Lingít class, so this is encouraging.

Got to celebrate the closing session of this year's American Indian Language Development Institute with two of my heroes...Ofelia Zepeda and Alyce Sadongei. Alyce is leaving the Institute to become Director of the O'odham Community Gardens, after more than 20 years with AILDI. ❤💔❤

Today is the first day of language & culture summer camp, the first in-person camp since 2019. It’s been a while since I taught the language, having spent the last couple of years immersed in analysis of the documentation. I’m looking forward to getting back to engaging with the language in the present!

Also looking forward to seeing how much the kids I remember have grown and inevitably feeling old as a result. 👴

Indigenous tongues spoken in Honduras include Ch’orti’, Tol, Pech/Paya, Miskito language, and Garifuna language. The Lencan languages lost all of their native speakers in Honduras after the popularity of the Spanish language. But lately, ethnic communities are making attempts to revive these languages.

For I would love to see your posts in your Mother Language(s)! Mine is English, so there ya go.

Because of that, I had the benefit of getting to do my education in a language I spoke at home and understood, right from kindergarten on.

60% of the global population does not currently have that benefit.
