Neologisms and Indigenous Languages

[Adrienne Tsikewa]

Good morning ILAT,

I am interested in learning more  on how Indigenous Language communities not only create new words in their respective languages ( I did find an article by Ryan Denzer-King), but also how these communities may feel about these neologisms. 

Are the communities actually using them? How were they introduced to the community? Is this necessary for language maintenance/revitalization?

Thanks/Elahkwa,

Adrienne Tsikewa
