Haa Dachxánx’i Sáani Kagéiyi Yís: Haa Yoo X’atángi Kei Naltseen. For Our Little Grandchildren: Language Revitalization among the Tlingit

Twitchell explores Tlingit language loss and revitalization, culminating in a presentation of a 30-year plan for Tlingit reclamation. He advocates for increased attention towards adult immersion learners, the creation of safe acquisition environments, community and personal healing, and action planning. He considers the interrelated nature of goal-setting, assessment, and celebration, and notes that all three are critical to a strong immersion program. He calls for love and care in all language revitalization work.
