Film Screening: Endangered Languages, Traditional Knowledge

February 25, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Mānoa Campus, St. John 11

---

In conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation, the UHM Department of Linguistics presents three short films celebrating Indigenous languages and knowledge.

From Alaska, where Gwich'in is now spoken by about 300 people, to Tahltan, an Aboriginal language of British Columbia, to Nalu, spoken on the Guinea coast in West Africa, these three films are entirely in endangered languages, with English subtitles. Topics include making Caribou dry meat, a fishing technique from the Guinea coast, and passing down Tahltan traditional knowledge.

Filmmakers Craig Mishler, Judy Thompson, Angela Dennis, Odelia Dennis, and Frank Seidel will be present to discuss their work. Films to be shown: "Dah-tsiye Kehke (Our Grandfather's Footprints)," "Vadzaih Nilii Gaih Tr'ahtsii: Making Caribou Dry Meat," and "Myiba ka mawèleb." All are welcome to attend the film screening free of charge.
