dc.description.abstractDr. Richard A.Grounds (Yuchi/Seminole) is working at the grassroots level to create new fluent speakers of Yuchi using full immersion language methods. This presentation addresses the little recognized yet enormous gap between the academic study of Indigenous languages and the hands-on practice of keeping a language alive as the heartbeat within an Indigenous community. The bottom line for our ancient and embattled First Nations is growing new young speakers, so that we will have new speakers as culturally competent members within our own living communities to lead our Indigenous societies into the future.en_US
