Description

The Wisdom in our Language will explore the wisdom we can learn from the Ute language. The unique challenges of when an Indigenous language, its worldview and the relationship to ourselves and the world is being lost. There are currently less than twenty fluent speakers on the Southern Ute reservation out of a total membership of 1,478. The impacts of this loss extends to the politics of culture, identity, sovereignty and systematic oppression in the Southern Ute community.
