Reclaiming Our Language: Part 2

According to the Endangered Language Alliance, nearly half of the estimated seven thousand languages currently spoken in the world are expected to disappear by the end of this century. As forces like globalization continue to homogenize culture and language, people around the world are working to preserve and revitalize their languages. One such effort in Oregon is that of the Klamath Tribes. In this video, we hear insights from the Klamath Tribes Language Program director, sdasdool?aks sn'eweets (“Quail Woman”). She was with a group of Klamath Tribes department members visiting Portland to give support and outreach to members in the north. We hear about the struggles and successes with the program and the efforts to revitalize the language.
