In honor of International Mother Language Day, the Northwest Indigenous Language Institute (NILI) at the UO invites you to attend an evening of film and conversation to raise awareness about revitalizing Indigenous languages and cultures.
Two documentaries will be screened. The first, Kla-Mo-Ya Language (20 min), by UO student filmmaker Princess (Princi) Bass-Mason, introduces people learning the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin languages, which are being revitalized by the Klamath Tribes of Oregon. The second film, And Knowledge To Keep Us (58 min), by UO journalism professor Torsten Kjellstrand, follows a Sugpiat culture and language camp that takes place annually on remote Kodiak Island in Alaska.
Immediately following the screening, a panel consisting of the two filmmakers and language revitalization practitioners will hold a conversation with the audience. Tickets are sliding scale and by donation only: suggested donation of $10 for students, $20 for adults. All proceeds will go towards the critical work at NILI helping to restore and revitalize languages of Oregon and beyond.
