Show Notes
Alaskas Native Language Center, a pioneer in preserving and revitalizing Indigenous languages, is closing after 50 years due to budget cuts. Despite facing suppression in the past, the centers efforts led to language classes, immersion programs, and co-official status for Native tongues. Now, with revitalization underway and new learners emerging, the closure threatens to slow progress. Alaskas rich linguistic diversity is at stake, but supporters hope state leaders will step up to continue the centers mission.
