Kelsey Klug puts out a question that relies on Native American Language seeing if there has been a change within the years she's known about Native Americans. She goes on talkings about how we as Natives lost control of education with young generations despite all the issues within the community. It was an issue that began in the late 1800s, in which some schools are still able to teach the children the cultural ways of life. In some cases students were punished, both physically, and physiologically for using the language instead of English. Native Americans then decided it would be better for the students to speak more of the English language than to prefer to speak their own Native language. 

In my own experience or connection to this article I agree with how Kelsey explained what has caused the issue to occur in Native people's life. In my very own experiences, it has been a struggle to learn both languages when one is being spoken throughout my entire life which is English. I admit that having the ability to speak English is a common thing but when coming home & being a part of activities here at home, it is a requirement to speak & understand the Native language as in learning all of the ways in life. The backstory behind all of it is how is it possible to get all young generations to learn & understand the basics of it?. I learned that as soon as they are born it all starts from there & as they continue to grow. Speaking to them in the language will help them get a hold of what was being said then as they grow up they will have that understanding of how it should be handled.

"The Key to Everything"

In the Native American Culture Video he talked about the language that he was using as it had been targeted for destruction for 150 years which is very much used as of today. Represents the tribal communities and governments that are here within New Mexico. His experiences of his journey of reclaiming his language was when he was at the age of 6 years old where his family relocated on the reservation so that his father could attend college. He chose to stay to learn his language and learn to sing which was an argument he had with his mother. There was an argument that was made for classes to be made that was his fathers college that he attended too. He was a quick learner at learning and speaking his language as he was being taught by his father at the age of 9. Accomplished so many as he was being taught by his father, it was a deal for him that he got a chance to be a tutor as he knew word for word. 

For over a hundred years, many people have visited the Indian reservation in the northern part of Dakota. By the 1900s boarding schools existed in our country that really provided manual trading to the Native American children. Many of these schools are entitled within the children's tribe which gives them full access to attend a class. The gratitude understanding of indigenous people is knowing how a certain thing is done. In this belief many Native children were put through a lot of mistreatment to have the ability to show off their language skills.

"Saving the World"

In the article “Saving the World’s Dying and Disappearing Languages” by Nina Strochlic. Russia lost 14 languages over the last 150 years. They invested to start a program in the USSR to help protect their language, but remote learning was one of the first ideas they had come up with. Which then indicated that would be the best help in avoiding the language barrier. Why is this happening? Because people are increasingly adopting more dominant languages to ensure participation and economic integration. Now the younger generation don’t speak their native language. China struggled trying to uphold their language, enlisting a network of volunteers to film them speaking their language discussing their hopes and goals. Primary schools were made which gave them the opportunity to get a better understanding of their language and get the better association to speaking to their peers or family members. Mongolia uses their language in oral written forms, they are being forced to learn off of it and speak as they read because they recommended that it is the only way they would learn. They never really had any departments or educational buildings to be made. They really depended on them learning themselves.
