Keeping a native language alive

from The Common · host WBUR

When Jessie Little Doe Baird was growing up on Cape Cod in the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, she didn’t have a relationship with her native language. Now, she reteaches her language to her community and family through the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project, which she co-founded. Today on The Common, we hear Darryl C. Murphy's conversation with Baird on Radio Boston from earlier this fall. Greater Boston’s weekly podcast where news and culture meet.
