Language helps define who we are. Although California has the highest density of indigenous languages in the world, many are no longer spoken. This is the story of the northern California Wiyot tribe's journey to recover their language and culture. It is the convergence of the dreams the tribe's culture bearers with records from linguists, anthropologists and archeologists and methods to revive lost languages for daily life. It is the story of hope.

This is a nice piece.
I wish we could have seen some of the Wiyot speakers living their lives and showing how this is important in their daily lives instead of just interviews of people talking about it.
Great to see a fellow Aggie uploading to Current!
