My language is at risk for going Extinct.

Today,  I was simply surfing the net when I came across a website that was headlined, 

Google Wants to Protect 3,000 Endangered Languages.  I was amazed to find out that my language was in the list of "at risk" languages. It's sad.  In efforts to bring awareness to the matter, I turned to Social media. I shared to various groups I'm in. So far I have gained only one reponse, stating it was true and the foundation, the families, weren't teaching young children.  It is a sad truth, which isn't addressed enough among families. This is an issue that I hope to help in my own way. I plan on teaching my daughter the language through books, pictures, and summers spent on my reservation to learn about my culture. I hope I can help in my own way, while I can.

Great Video

This video is very touching.

Growing up as a kid, I was no stranger to Bob Hope videos, stories of the Austrailian outback to meetin the Supremes and Diana Ross. My father would never speak of his experiences in Vietnam, just the happy ones. The time he hated crackers and peanut butter. But having a limited selection of sea rations, he ended up liking them. To this day, my father reminsces of his friends and expreiences. I knew there were more memories when he saw the familiar names on Vietnam Memorial. Every memorial, my dad and I would visit my great uncle I never had a chance to meet. He never made it home. I think that's why this video means something to me.
