This course will describe what has happened to Chumash and other Native American languages since European settlement, recent efforts to reclaim them, and discuss a beautiful dictionary produced by the Santa Ynez Chumash.
Participants will learn a few Chumash words, hear a story told in its native language (and English), and be engaged.
