[Linganth] films on indigenous languages?

Wed Feb 13 20:15:32 UTC 2019

Just a few other suggestions: There's a very nice video myaamiaki
eemamwiciki: Miami Awakening about the reclamation and reawakening being
done among the Miami. There's also The Young Ancestors (concerning Tewa
language reclamation in New Mexico) which might be useful.  Mushkeg Media
Inc. has produced a number of short (30 minutes or so) films for the series
Finding Our Talk (link: http://mushkeg.ca/purchase.html#LTL); they also did
the documentary KANIEN'KEHÁ:KA: Living the Language and the original
Finding My Talk documentary. best, tony
