The Cherokee language

I am a native Hawai'ian. Thirty years ago,the young Hawaiians realized that if the language is lost, no more Hawaiians. They started schools that were taught in our languag, developed outstanding curriculum, data and with the U.H. Developed a wonderful Hawaiian language department. Now in malls you head out babies, teenagers and adults talking our "olelo" , our native language.It's not to late!

I think endangered languages like Cherokee should be offered to students in schools! We have enough spanish, German, and French speakers. Let a student decide to help preserve a culture

What a beautiful name for a language.... Snowbird Cherokee. I love that the lady gives her grandkids Cherokee names. The elder laughing at fake Cherokees and their pretty names was very refreshing. We had the same happen in Australia - children forcibly taken from their families, we call them the Stolen Generation 😢💗🌵

I think this is awesome! I’m in Oklahoma and the Cherokee here(the ones who were forced to take the Trail of Tears from NC) are offering classes to learn the language, also. I think that’s awesome!

Don't lose your language, it is your heritage. The people of Wales kept their language alive against attempts of the British government to wipe it out.

Never allow anyone to steal your Native Speech from You. It's Your Heritage. Practice it, teach it to the children, be proud of it!

I am a Korean woman. I recently wanted to know who my ancestors were and what my race was. So I had a DNA test, and the results of the genetic test showed that native Americans who crossed over from Siberia to the Americas are also my relatives. These results are not unique to me, but appear in the genes of many Koreans, and their songs, culture, and language are very similar to those of Korea, so it is often surprising. Our ancestors who settled in Asia from Siberia and those who migrated from Siberia to the Americas are the ancestors of Koreans. I will always support my ancestors. May their beautiful culture be cherished forever...🦅🐃🪶🕊🍁

Cherokee sounds like a language I can pick up as a native Mongolian speaker. It sounds so easy on the ears. I wish you the most strength in spirit and may your love for life keep you stronger.

That First lady speaking sounded so much like my grandmother. I can remember her speaking Cherokee when I was very young, before she died. Thank you for the memories

Damn I love her mountain Accent and the Cherokee language! NC is a beautiful state

There are free classes on the internet to learn Cherokee language, I’ve signed up for the classes. My granny was Cherokee and I want to learn to honor her and my heritage

I’m so glad the Cherokee language and culture are staying alive. May it thrive and grow.

Many blessings to all the Cherokee people! It makes me so happy to hear your culture still alive in your language.

There is a Cherokee Language Revitalization Project going on, thankfully

I'm from South Louisiana and my parents used French to speak about things that we weren't suppose to know about; especially Christmas gifts. French from France was taught in school but not Cajun French. Big difference. It's great that Cherokee is still taught for the upcoming children.

I'm 100% Anglo and it depresses me to know the history of what happened to the Cherokee language but am also stoked to see it making a resurgence in the hearts and minds of young Cherokee descendants. Now I want to learn !

This Lady is so beautiful in so many ways

The old woman reminds me so much of my grandma.

the man at 6:38 talking about fake cherokee names cracks me up “princess pale moon woah look out” lmaoo

Precious Memories - my father was born in 1898 in East Texas - his mother was third generation Cherokee, she didn't read but they said she had the voice of an angel and could play any stringed instrument - I can hear my father's speech as I listen - thank you for this wonderful sad video.....
