[Linganth] films on indigenous languages?

[Janina Fenigsen]

Hi Michael,

Try "Language Healers" and  "Language of Spirituality." "Healers" is
squarely on what you're looking for. The first few minutes of
 "Spirituality" provide a very teacheable neo-whorfian perspective of
relationship between grammar and quantum theory, although without
acknowledging Whorf or any linguistic anthropological work on the subject.
Also, a cautionary note, in "Spirituality," Dan Moonhawk Alford presents
the argument about relationship between grammar and quantum theory as
applicable to all Native American languages.

Good luck,

janina
