  • The Athabascan languages of Alaska are connected to the land, developed over centuries in intimate conversation with the natural world. Each Athabascan language is a linguistic landscape: the sounds tł’, ts’, shr, a rustle of leaves: ghw, k’, t’, the feel of the earth beneath the feet: aii, oo, uu, branches growing towards the sun: stories passed down generations a history of the land; beliefs and knowledge intertwined in the languages, a living, breathing life force. In this talk, Doyon Foundation's Language Revitalization Director Allan Hayton argues that we must mend the broken ties with the land and our languages for healing and revitalization to begin.
    Allan is the son of Lena Pauline Hayton from Fort Yukon, Alaska, and James T. Hayton from Natick, Massachusetts. He was raised in Arctic Village, Alaska, and his grandparents are Robert and Lena Albert from Tanana and Fort Yukon, Alaska. Allan studied theatre and film at Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas, finishing his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1992. He continued studies at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, graduating spring 2013 with a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics. Allan works closely with nine Athabascan languages of Interior Alaska as the Language Program Director for the Doyon Foundation.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

      Athabaskan languages mostly exist in Southwestern North America (North Canada and Alaska) but also there's some southern languages like Navajo and Chiricahua

      Athabaskans historically were one people so Navajos and other Southern Athabaskans are kinda united with North Athabaskans. Like Slavs in Europe

      It's because the Navajo migrated south from Canada hundreds of years ago.

      Athabaskan Turkish: Atabaşkan This is a Turkish word, It means the leader of a clan!..
      It may also be evidence that Indians are of Central Asian origin. It has a similar meaning in Türkiye Turkish. Atatürk/Athaturk: means the ancestor of the Turks

    Fantastic! I greatly appreciate the culture and language of our First Nations People, and think that we could ALL learn from their history of living in harmony with their environment. Being a musician, I find the origin of the Athabaskan language truly awe inspiring. I hope to learn more!

      They're all Athabaskans. So yes they're one family. But it was a very long time in the past, like the Turks in Turkey and in Siberia are also united

    Your dialect is different from ours. I'm from HC, Alaska. West AK. I forgot what our dialect was called. No one speaks our athabascan dialect in my area. I only know my name, Nik-ù-whún, wolf, and a few other words.
    I know your dialect is different cuz our teacher when i was a kid said different areas are different.
