Our Mother Tongues

So much of what is portrayed in the media about indigenous cultures  
focuses on loss and disappearance, but what is really happening in  
Indian country today is a vibrant cultural revival. The Wampanoag  
story moved me profoundly because it is a story of hope, of  
possibilities, of a community that was in many ways devastated by 400  
years of contact taking charge of their history, their identity, and  
their culture by reawakening their language.
