  12. The Problem:“America's first languages are on the brink of extinction. Unless we act now, in the next 10 years, as many as 70 Native American languages will fall silent, erasing a wealth of human knowledge, silencing timeless ceremonies, and severing indigenous peoples from sacred spiritual links to their lands. By 2050, scholars estimate that as few as 20 of America’s first languages will still be spoken.”

  13. Why they do it “The responsibility for saving the native languages of America is born by only one generation: this one. If the languages die it will be because we chose not to act, or chose only to act half-heartedly. We will have failed our children, our elders, and our ancestors.” -National Alliance to Save Native Languages

  14. Why do they do it?

  15. Case Study • Based in Sapulpa, Oklahoma • Euchee Language Project (ELP) • 5 remaining fluent elder speakers—all Euchee first-language speakers now in their 70s and 80s—on a daily basis to develop immersion curriculum, conduct after-school language classes for young people in the community, and to engage in master/apprentice training sessions with middle-generation speakers.
