Starting point: How to learn a Native language

This story was filed on

Here’s a video about a Tlingit language immersion retreat. We can learn our Native languages by taking simple steps, like learning five words a day. And using those words with our children. The video is encouraging for anyone working on revitalization. It’s important to start somewhere, considering 70 Native languages could disappear in the United States in the next decade.
