  • I agree. Language is vital in a native american community. I was very delighted to see the elementary schools on the Pineridge Reservation instill the Lakota language into the children there. Without the language..then what do you have? Good Story!

  • You are so right, anyone who looses their heritage loose alot, it all needs to remain.

  • Hi Skabewis, keeping a language alive is of extreme importance, and is in everyone’s best interest. You should consider submitting this video to the Canada’s Got Treasures collection by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure). It would be made available on our channel and website. Help celebrate Canadian diversity!
