Is there anything in the world more tragic than the loss of a human language? Whole concepts, relationships, understandings, perspectives, and information are contained in a language, things that cannot be replicated or translated. An entire aspect of humanity, developed over thousands of years, goes with it. And that is exactly what is looming in the United States, where more than 70 Native American languages will disappear in the next 10 years unless action is taken right now to teach them to younger tribe members. Our program is giving tribes the resources they need to do just that: to teach their language to their children, to keep it a living heritage.
