| General note | Representatives from tribes in North and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, all of whom have indigenous language programs, discuss how the indigenous languages were broken by residential schools and why the indigenous languages should be saved as the language of religion, culture and cultural identity and as storehouses of environmental knowledge. The languages are large libraries containing knowledge of tribal history. They discuss the positive effects on children of learning the tribal language from an early age. |
