Description

In this episode, Kara, Kristina, and George discuss the paradox of speaking their language, one that many have labeled “extinct.” They begin by talking about how Myaamiaataweenki ‘Miami language’ became dormant and then tell the story of the revitalization of the language from documentation over the past thirty years. This episode dives into the close collaboration between the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the Myaamia Center, which led to the creation of the educational structures that are supporting the Myaamia community today.
