[Linganth] films on indigenous languages?

[Erin Shaw-Meadow]

Two more to add to an already comprehensive list:

*Ixcanul *- a heartbreaking but beautiful film of a Kaqchikel speaking
Mayan family in Guatemala; not expressly focused on language revitalization
but themes of language and daily life throughout

*Hicholes: The last peyote guardians*

Cheers,

Erin
