Indigenous Language TV Series: Finding Our Talk

The third season of Finding Our Talk: A Journey into Indigenous  
Languages is now available on DVD. The 13-part series celebrates the  
success and challenges of language preservation and revitalization  
around the world.

Directed by aboriginal directors and produced by Mushkeg Media Inc.,  
this season takes an international perspective looking at endangered  
languages in Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, Norway, Guatemala,  
Bolivia and North America.

The award winning series has been broadcast in Canada, New Zealand and  
Australia. Some episodes represent the first professional recordings  
of elders speaking rarely heard languages. Other episodes showcase the  
role technology and innovation play in modern language revitalization  
programs. Three seasons were filmed in Canada and seven other  
countries. Thirty-nine, half hour episodes each look at endangered  
languages from a modern aboriginal perspective. There is no other  
series like it. "Finding Our Talk" is a valuable resource for language  
speakers, learners and teachers.
