What if your people lost their language?
What could be done & Who would help do it?
The historical fate of Native Peoples has been reluctantly acknowledged, yet the significance of Native language rescue and revival is still largely ignored.
When a language is lost, intimate human understanding of life in one place on Earth disappears forever – and a connection between people of one culture is broken.
The Language Conservancy seeks to reverse the cycles of social and personal despair that result from language loss.
