One of my goals is to ensure Indigenous speech communities can perpetuate their language use as effectively as possible. That means being aware of your language, understanding your community dynamics and history, as well as a few fundamental ideas borrowed from psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.

Below you can find links to a 15 video collection. The purpose of the collection is to empower clients throughout the development process, and to introduce potential clients to the overlap between Indigenous Language Revitalization and linguistics in general.
