#revitalization

About the #revitalization of #Skolt #Saami, an #indigenous #language in Finland: With support from the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the use of Skolt Saami in school can be expanded. The results of preschool immersion and education projects are already visible. "A few years ago, one could only speak Skolt Saami with older people, but now there are children who are fluent speakers."

I'm extremely pleased—and relieved—to say that Rowinataworu Luhchi Yoroni (The Tunica Language Textbook) will be published in May 2023.

It's the culmination of years of work for the Tunica Language Working Group, a group of language workers from Tulane, the Tunica-Biloxi tribe, and elsewhere.

I foolishly took on the task of typesetting the entire book, on my own, in LaTeX, but I've made it to the other side!

Happy to do an #introduction. I am a #folklorist & #anthropologist with a wide range of topical interests. Geographically, I have focused (1990-present) on Oklahoma & the rest of Southeastern North America. More recently, I have also been involved in team research focused in Southwest China (2013-present). Conceptual issues of interest include #heritage, #property, #appropriation, #revitalization, #commons, #enclosure… I also work on scholarly communications reform & #openaccess. @anthropology
