Eyak language workshops coming to Anchorage

The first endangered Alaska language to lose its last native-born
speaker is about to get a second chance, a news release says.

A series of workshops will launch this weekend at the Anchorage Museum
to take revitalization efforts to the next level.

Guillaume Leduey, a 22-year old from France who taught himself how to
speak the language, is back in Alaska to lead the sessions after
visting the state for the first time last year. He is being joined by
Roy Mitchell, a sociolinguist from the University of Alaska Anchorage,
who has developed immersion workshops for a number of Alaska Native
languages.
