Title: American Indian Languages Get 'Breath of Life' in Oklahoma and California
Body: Two opportunities for indigenous language activists to learn about and use archival language materials recently took place in Oklahoma and in California. --- American Indian languages get 'Breath of Life' An intensive five-day workshop at OU's Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History taught participants how to study and teach the linguistics of tribal languages BY JAMES S. TYREE, NewsOK June 7, 2010 The May 24-28 Breath of Life workshop at the University of Oklahoma’s Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History taught participants how to conduct linguistic research on tribal languages, starting with archival materials at the museum. The program is designed for people from tribes that lack fluent speakers of their language who want to help preserve the language for future generations. Mary Linn, curator of Native American Languages at the Sam Noble museum, organized the workshop and invited scholars from other universities to work with participants. A National Science Foundation grant helped pay for the program, based on a concept Linn said started six years ago in Berkeley, Calif.

The Breath of Life, Silent No More Language Workshop for California Indians (originally named the Lonely Hearts Language Club) was designed specifically for people who have no speakers to learn their language from. The University of California at Berkeley has a set of archives and libraries that together comprise the largest collections of materials on California languages that can be found anywhere. Every other year for a week, the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival produces the Breath of Life Workshop, where some 50 Native Californians come to learn how to find materials on their languages, and learn enough about linguistics to start using those materials for their own use in language learning, teaching, or use. From the documentation, people may learn prayers or songs or stories. Participants have used the documentation to make dictionaries, language lessons and phrasebooks. They have learned enough from the materials to make their own songs, or write poetry. They might focus on useful phrases that they can use every day at home or around the community. They might find photos of their own ancestors, or words and stories and family histories that their relatives told to linguists. The Breath of Life workshop took place this year June 6-12, 2010.
