Mother Tongue Film Festival: A’-t’i’ Xwee-ghayt-nish (Still, We Live On)
February 23, 2025 | 12:30 pm–1:30 pm
Language is the cordage that binds us to our identities and connects us to deeper wells of knowledge and understanding. Across the world, Indigenous communities continue leading grassroots efforts to revitalize their languages using innovative technologies and creative teaching methods. Join us as we learn more about the work taking place in Northern California to raise new generations of Tolowa language speakers in A’-t’i’ Xwee-ghayt-nish (Still, We Live On).
