Not only the language but the historical trauma ALL native nations have faced throughout history needs to be told and acknowledged and taught in schools. 😢
More and more this is being taught in schools and it needs to keep being taught more!!. I remember have several units in elementary, middle, and high school learning about this. When I was young I thought all Indigenous people were dead and that they had all been killed off. This was back in 2006. They taught us so much of the atrocities I literally thought we had no natives left. So it is being taught, and I’m sure even more since 2006
I so agree!! The gradeschool 4 of my grands attended (Oregon) recently changed it's name from 'Columbus' to Willamette - the old name of a local river and used by our Kalapuia !
This is honestly amazing! I feel as if native languages in the states should be recognized as official languages since they are the ancestral toungues of the land Wishing all these kiddos luck, may the language live on
This is a wonderful program. I hope you will be able to teach to at least 7 years old. Spanish was my first language but I stopped (moved) at 5. Now I can only speak Spanish like a 5-year old. Most of it is gone. If you can make sure a parent learns it and continues to use it with the child that would be great.
I wanna take the class how would i do that because ive bwen teaching myself for my daughter but the unega hate that im doing it for my baby girl but idl its kept me calm
And ppl view me a poor very resourceful person as trash for my views on wanting her too reach the highest level of tribal knowledge before we unite and balance the power and care for the tribes the female warrior she will be a selfless leader if im just given the chance to lead her like a father should lead her
@@comicriddle4424 I love studying languages so I try not to talk to my daughter in English ever just in general. Her dad is Puerto Rican and Dominican so I speak to her in as much Cherokee and Spanish as I can. But when I was a rebellious little teenybopper I refused studying any of my indigenous languages (both my parents are from different tribes) and I focused on Korean and Mandarin Chinese so my daughter hears that every now and again as well 🥲. I take Armenian classes so I use Armenian vocabulary with her at times and Taino dictionary too. Only people who question my process are unega. 🤷🏻♀️ My daughter learns Osage, Hokna, Sawono，and anishinaabemowin as well. I grew up in MO on Osage territory, my dad is Hokna and my mom is Metis and Cherokee.
Sat here with a smile and tears. What a beautiful thing to have created to keep your heritage alive. I wish I had access to learn my fathers native language. St. Lucian Patios speakers are hard to come across but this has inspired me. I wish you all the best Little Cherokee Seeds 💜💜💜
I’m an east European who stumbled upon this. Don’t know how, but this is so lovely to see. Wonderful to see efforts to preserve the language. Best of luck to all of these people 🤝
I am learning Cherokee through the online program - I'm a harper, and in the mid 90s leared a couple of songs in Scots Gaelic. I find the word order and world view very similar in the Gaelic and tsalagi!
This is great! My great-grandmother was a fluent Cherokee speaker, but she didn't pass it on to her kids, so I never had a chance to learn. The Nisenan in Northern California are bringing back their language through the kids as well.
I don't know if my grandmother Minnie (born in Oregon of Cherokee descent) spoke the language at all. I'm enrolled in the second term of the online classes, with first language speker Ed Fields and love it so much! Each class, I understand a bit more.
So much respect and appreciation for this program and all involved. I wish more Cherokee had been spoken when I was a child. I picked up a few things but sadly not near enough.
My great grandfather is hop turkey. I do not know his name in Cherokee or how to pronounce it. I have been watching this channel trying to learn ancestor language but i had brain surgery in 2012 & was only taught English when retaught to talk, drink, eat, walk short distances. Even now i still have trouble with words but i so much want to know my grandfathers life. My dad was born in Minko Grady Oklahoma. Sadly grandparents divorced. Grandma raised him with a white man & that meant not knowing grandpas side of the family. I can only hope that the seed grows now planted.
This is such a fantastic and important project! It truly does take a village, not just to raise a child but also to save, keep and cultivate a language, its history and culture for future generations. All the best to you in your endeavour ❤
Thanks American Indian Resource Center: Wathene Young and Pam Iron (and staff) for bringing this program to life and having the vision to bring Camp SevenStar to life.
Speak in Cherokee with subtitles. I think you need also written the cherokee in romance like pinyin in Mandarin because cherokee Is very difficult to read and easy to pronounce.
Osiyo What a wonderful program! I'm in the second term of Ed Field's online tsalagi classes, and love them so much! Tsalagi aquadeloquasdi aqhaduliha (I wanted to learn Cherokee) for a long time - and am taking my own osdi (baby) steps. I'm in Oregon, and at the end of the month will take part in a two day immersion dideloquasdi (school/ learning) with two native speakers and folks from this area - I'm excited and nevous! Wado
@@OsiyoTV Oh Thank You So Very Much!! Yes I Am Familiar with This Area! That's the Area I was born in, well, Me if there, Y'all Stay Safe and Take Good Care!! As well as All those precious baby Cherokee's!!

This is beautiful. I hope other nations can do something similar. ❤
IMO you should teach also English, you're not an isolated Society; but trying to create 1, is not OK. It should be an integration of cultures

You need to make movies and series in Cherokee to create an interest to learn Cherokee or an other native language.
That's what Norman Fowler taught me to keep the history of all of are people.

They should do this in Scotland but with Gaelic.
