So, signing up for this course (taught online) this Fall. I'll be auditing the course because it's all about the knowledge for me at this point (and I want there to be enough students to justify teaching this. 25 slots, 6 filled already).

I told my friend and tutor that thanks to her lessons I was able to understand the Tikuna spoken in the film (well, a lot of it, anyway), and she said the Tikuna-speaking character is her uncle! She sent me this, circling him. #languages #IndigenousLanguages #Ticuna #Tikuna #Amazonas #Amazonia

For years, #Indigenous people in the #NWT have been working to #decolonize names. That's included calls to scrap the word #slave from #GreatSlaveLake and #Slavey, changing them to something meaningful to Indigenous people.
The request the territory received back in 2022 suggested the lake's name reflect four #IndigenousLanguages: Dene Zhatıé, Dëne Sųłıné Yatıé, Tłıchǫ Yatıı̨̀ and Wıı̀lıı̀deh Yatıı̨̀. It was supported by the North Slave Métis Alliance and the former MLA for #Yellowknife North, according to information from Cleveland's department.
Georgina Fabian, an elder from Fort Providence, said the name 'Slavey' is a #colonial term that was imposed on her people.
"It shouldn't take this long ... but the problem with Great Slave Lake itself is that there are many #IndigenousCommunities that border the lake, so it is now a matter of which name you should choose ... so there is a lot of politics with that," Nokleby said.

¡¡conseguí un diccionario ticuna-castellano!!
It is (predictably) produced by missionaries, but the linguist whose lectures I'm watching (several years after the fact) says it's not bad. He also says it's the only dictionary there currently is, so ... SCORE!
