Indigenous Language Study Group

Welcome to the Indigenous Language Study Group!

This is a study group for indigenous people who want to learn their own languages!

Maybe some of you speak your indigenous language fluently, want to improve your language skills, or start your journey to rematriate and reclaim your language and culture.

This group is a space to sit together in a physical and/or digital space to carve that time in your schedule and provide you with some solidarity and emotional support for your journey.

RULES:

• This group is FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE from anywhere in the world, be it from Turtle Island, Africa, Aotearoa, Sápmi, or somewhere else. We are all connected and stand in solidarity with one another. You don’t have to have membership to a tribe to be included in this, but if you can’t confidently say that you have some indigenous experience, then this group may not be for you.
• This group is NOT FOR NON-INDIGENOUS people learning a language. We respect your dedication to learning our indigenous languages, but this space is not for you.
• We are here to reclaim our language and culture. Unless otherwise stated for an event, the sessions will focus on studying with or next to each other.
• If you’re not sure where to start, we can help you do some research for resources to help you.
• If you are learning the same language as someone else, please help each other. We are all we have.

All study group events are free, and always will be. If there are workshops in the future, there may be a suggested donation.
For more information, go to this Discord server where video calls will be held, questions, and resources.

In the library, go to the 'Gruppenarbeitsraum'. Holden will be there with a pink hat on.
