Description
About the Book
"Many Indigenous languages were lost when the US and Canadian governments forced Indigenous children to learn and use English. Young readers will learn how Indigenous linguists and teachers are bringing these languages back to life"--Book Synopsis
Indigenous languages have a mixed history in the United States. Many Native languages have become endangered. In the 1800s, the US government began forcing Native children to attend federal Indian boarding schools. There, children were punished for speaking anything other than English. But during the two World Wars, the US military asked Native American soldiers to create unbreakable codes in their Native languages. Indigenous languages help explain cultural practices, keep ceremonies alive, and teach Indigenous peoples about their histories and their ways of life. Today, Indigenous nations use immersion camps and schools to revitalize their languages.
