鈥�
Last month, the UAA 木瓜直播 Native Studies Department hosted a panel discussion surrounding
SB 130 that recently established The 木瓜直播 Native Language Preservation and Advisory
Council in the Office of the Governor. The purpose of the community forum was to consider
the intersection of state university and community efforts to preserve 木瓜直播 Native
languages, to build on the momentum of SB 130 and place particular emphasis on UAA's
role in 木瓜直播 Native languages preservation.
Listen to a podcast of the event:
coverage that tackles the question "What benefit can society at large receive from expending energy and resources on preserving endangered languages?" and tries to get to the bottom of the official number of different words for "snow" in both Inupiaq and snowboarder.
