People are posting videos where they take on dramatic challenges and tag
others to join in. It's an energetic effort to raise awareness...to use
Native American languages. The 2014 Indigenous Language Challenge is on.
Comedian Tonia Jo Hall, a Lakota teacher in training, posted a video of her
young daughter singing in Lakota."Whatever your native language is, we
challenge you to post a 10-15 sec video no matter what it is as long as
you're speaking your language," Hall wrote. She's not the only Native
American language activist, learner, or teacher to promote indigenous
language use via social media video challenges.
