Native languages and cultures in Alaska from a Yup’ik dog musher
and a Tlingit carver of wood and metal. The film then takes us to a
school in Wisconsin where we hear the story of a seventh grade girl
who was recently punished for speaking a few words of the Menominee
language. We learn more about the fight against language loss through
visiting a Euchee (Yuchi) immersion school in Oklahoma where only
four fluent elder speakers remain. We also meet National Geographic
Fellow and Swarthmore College linguistics professor K. David Harrison
who introduces us to his innovative online talking dictionaries
project for Indigenous languages. Finally, we travel to Montana where
an inventive Arapaho professor, Neyooxet Greymorning, has been
perfecting a method to quickly save Native languages.</font></font></font></font></font></p><p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal"><font color="#000000"><font face="times new roman, serif"><font size="3">Go
