Extractions: Index of American Indian languages Support our organization What's new on our site today! Language: About 500 Metis people in North Dakota and scattered locations in Canada still speak Michif, a unique French- Cree creole using French nouns, Cree verbs, and some local vocabulary borrowed from Indian languages like Ojibway or Dene . Unlike most creoles, Michif shows little if any grammatical simplificationthe polysynthetic verb phrases of Cree are preserved in their full complexity. It's likely that Michif originated, not as a pidgin between Crees and Frenchmen trying to communicate with each other, but as a badge of identity and occasionally-necessary secret code among Metis raised in both languages (similar to Yiddish in Europe). Most Michif speakers today are fluent in neither Cree nor French. Children are no longer learning Michif, leading linguists to class the language as "moribund" (headed for extinction), but there have been efforts to revive its use as a cultural language in some Metis communities.

Extractions: Well, to understand the terms "revival" and "revitalization," first you have to understand the current state of these languages. Linguists have a variety of grim-sounding terms for languages with few or no native speakers. A language which has no native speakers (people who grew up speaking the language as a child) is called "dead" or "extinct." A language which has no native speakers in the youngest generation is called "moribund." A language which has very few native speakers is called "endangered" or "imperilled." Language revival and language revitalization are attempts to preserve endangered languages, and that is precisely what our website project is about. Of the 800+ Amerindian languages, five hundred are endangered or worse. Most of the others are in Central and South America in North America only Navajo usage is increasing, and even the relatively "healthy" languages like Cherokeespoken by 22,000 peopleare threatened by low percentages of children learning the languages.

We have an Elders Society, A Women's Society and a Warriors Society, all of which actively function in developing and preserving our culture. Membership is limited to those whose names are on existing Indian rolls, although it is not necessary to have documented it. We are not interested in either State or Federal recognition, but actively seek a place to have a Native American Cultural Center one day where all Native Americans can gather in Texas to further the study of our Native American Culture as aforementioned.
