Near Usk Washington on the Kalispel Reservation, tribal members young and old are part of a language revival. They are bringing back the Salish language from the brink of extinction. See how the tribe is saving Salish and in the process reconnecting with its past.
KSPS exists to improve the quality of life of each person we reach. KSPS content broadens horizons; engages and connects; enlightens, inspires and educates. KSPS is an international multimedia network providing quality programming.
This is very important for the cultural future of Salish people. It makes me smile.
I hope so too
Kia ora ra koutou.This video reminds me of our own language. Today our language is thriving and can be heard in the homes and on the streets. Good luck and may yous thrive
hopfully next year i will be able to get into my school's lummi language class (lummi is a dielect of salish)
Did you get in yet?
yep! just finished my first year. (god it was hard)
hashna fennec Cool!
I’m lummi too, and growing up I wanted to learn. Does our college offer online courses? I live out of state.
This is just fantastic to see people reviving an almost-extinct language. I also like the references they made to "The Coyote and the Buffalo," which we just read in our English class, which is awesome. c:
give the toddlers to the elders to learn they will pick it up easy
I am SO happy to see they are teaching the children! They learn so much more quickly and easily. This whole story is AMAZING!! I am so excited that this language, culture, and history is being preserved and passed on!!
I wish in this area all people will speak this language fluently😊
Awesome
it´s pretty nice!!
Half blood squamish. I would love any literacy. I am a proud Baker.
I wish I could learn our language i am Nooksack which speak Salishan but no one knows how to speak it or are too old to teach us or I can't find anyone to teach me
Juliet Thornburg I really hope your community will one day be able to re-embrace and re-learn it effectively so you can be immersed everyday. A language houses so much history in words that are too easily lost when the original speakers die. It saddens me a little to think of all the idioms and historical little phrases that may have been already lost to history in Salish since in this video, only 5 elders knew their versions of it, but hopefully they'll be able to build off of what they do remember and evolve it back into a newer healthy language once again :)
..🦊...prepositional phrases ‘,...is how the language was broken down into individual words ,....other then that we spoke by sentences and paragraphs with hand signs ,..the left was definition and the right feed the left ,...( also hidden in stick game ) ,...no native language is comparable to any other culture,...it is now’,.....none of these languages have own weight scale’s ,.....🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
These folks are our enemies.
.......🦊.......it’s only a matter of time before an English major points out how the language program compares with the English language,....then what ‘,.....is it worth it?,......the math refers to one through 1 - 10 ( slandered English math ) it’s not suppose to compare with any other language,.....some of the kids know here on the Flathead ,...........it’s only a matter of time ‘🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Bin ich der einzige hier, der das zusammenfassen muss?🥲
