Survey of Native American / First Nations language use on Facebook

[Wayne Leman]

Thank you for this information. After your message I tried Vocaroo and posted a recording in the Cheyenne Language group on Facebook. It works. I hope Cheyennes will use this service.

One of my students told me there is a way to post audioclips on Facebook using a website called 'Vocaroo' (which I had never heard of before):http://vocaroo.com/  
Recordings are made there and then the link is posted on the Facebook page. 
The student commented: "While I think this is a good strategy adopted by the learners, it also is slightly problematic because I'm not sure exactly what happens to recordings made on Vocaroo in the long-term. It seems prudent to me to try and keep learners' production somewhere a bit safer as well, especially since these recordings might conceivably constitute valuable data for studies of language change."
