Description

We exist through our languages; it is through language that we express ourselves, we communicate, we participate in social and public life, and we transmit traditional knowledge and culture in a sustainable way.

What if your language was threatened of extinction? What would you lose?

Join MLLI in the celebration of linguistic diversity, and come watch the documentary Rising Voices/Hótȟaŋiŋpi (USA, 2015), the story of a powerful threat to a Native culture and language, the Lakota.
