  • It's amazing that Salishian languages are being revived. Salishian languages have been a victim of so called linguicide. Right now these languages are being revived and that's a wonderul thing.I think that language carries certain cultural values so if you save the language you save the values it carries. Keep up the work!

  • These children are lucky this isn't 40 years ago: they would be put into a residential school.

    on my fathers side i am cherokee ... mothers side flathead ravalli montana

  • my grandma flossie masterson grew up with her family on the res at age 3 before she moved to hamilton montana

    i wish i could learn the langage and ways further ...

    i am a medicine man without his native tongue

  • I love this! I am part salish, and I wish I can learn the language. I can ask my uncle Alec. After watching this I was thinking about my auntie Sophie "Supi"

  • Oh I truly love this!!! Exactly at the end "We Will Never Give Up"!!!!

  • She's probably Salish too.

  • Don't Navajos have two immersion schools already? Rough Rock and another trilingual one.

  • This is awesome. There are not many things that are more important than preserving culture. It is great to see the little blond girl in the video. She represents the idea that all people who live in an area should acknowledge and learn in the indigenous culture and language.

  • i got 4 boys and i hope they all can go to nkwusm! I see now that this is the way for our people to become one again. listen to the old ones they know way more then any of us.
