#NativeAmericaCalling: Language teachers celebrate success on #IndigenousPeoplesDay
Monday, October 13, 2025
"After an intensive two-year adult immersion program, the number of fluent #SpokaneSalish language speakers nearly doubled.
"The success represents the work of the #SpokaneLanguageHouse, a non-profit that is funded and supported by the #Spokane Tribe in #WashingtonState. Now, some of the immersion program graduates will be hired on as full-time language teaching staff as the tribe expands its language revitalization efforts.
"Meanwhile, the #YuchiTribe in #Oklahoma has established the #YuchiLanguageProject. As part of the work, the tribe developed a unique partnership with an #AustralianAboriginal nation to exchange ideas for revitalizing both of their endangered languages.
"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about these two recent Native language success stories.
"Also, hear about a five-part talk show, '#RematriatedVoices', centered on #Haudenosaunee culture and principles. The first episode airs on Indigenous Peoples Day on New York #PBS affiliate #WCNY.
