  • The Tolowa Dee-Ni' Language Revitalization
    The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Language Revitalization Loren Me’-lash-ne Bommelyn Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Language Revitalization, Is the Challenge The Challenge of Endangered Language recovery is uncertain work. Endangered Languages are spoken and unspoken. Many languages are retrieved from manuscripts, publications, audio files, ethnographies and from the hearts and minds of speakers. What will reform the speech community? Most children hear English and Spanish not Dee-ni'. How can an Endangered Language wage against media, Colonialism and singleness? What methodologies and approaches support Endangered Languages? “Teach what you learn and speak what you know.” The Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Thea Ta -laa-wa Dee-ni' are a Dene (Athabaskan) speaking people of the Pacific Northwest. The Taa-laa-waa-dvn lays across ten rivers systems that empty into the Pacific in southwest Oregon and northern California. The neighbors of the Taa-laa- wa are the Yurok to the south, the Karuk, Takelma and Kalapuya to the east and the Coos to the north. The Yurok language is Algonquian. The Karuk language is Hokan. The Takelma, Kalapuya and Coos are Penutian. The Dee-ni' emerged following Genesis at Yan'-daa-k'vt, "South-up-hill”, the center of the Dee- ni' world. The Dee-ni’ Homeland Xatlh-srii-dvn - Genesis The Three Beings; Baby Sender, Daylight and Thunder living above the Earth in the Sweat House of Knowledge spoke and made the water covered earth.

  • Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty
    Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty: Social, Cultural and Economic Impacts of Denied Access to Traditional Management Prepared by Dr. Kari Marie Norgaard for the Karuk Tribe Department of Natural R e s o u r c e s 2014 Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty: Social, Cultural and Economic Impacts of Denied Access to Traditional Management. Karuk management principles have been central to the evolution of the flora and fauna of the mid-Klamath ecosystem (Andersen 2005, Lake et al 2010, Skinner et al 2006). Ongoing and future climate change intensifies existing ecological pressures in the Klamath Basin and on Karuk traditional foods and cultural use species already under threat. Future climate scenarios for the Klamath Basin point to unique threats to both riverine and “upslope” species, as shifting and increasingly variable precipitation patterns impact stream flows, stream temperatures and fire regimes (Karl et al 2009). Climate change poses a threat not only to the Klamath ecosystem, but to Karuk culture which is intimately intertwined with the presence, use and management of cultural use species (Karuk Tribe 2010, Lake et al 2010, Norgaard 2005). In the context of climate change, Karuk tribal knowledge and management principles can be utilized to protect public as well as tribal trust1 resources (Karuk Tribe 2012). For Tribes within the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative such as the Karuk where significant knowledge of traditional management practices is intact, but where all or part of ancestral lands are managed by other agencies, it is important that the implementation of traditional management take place in a manner that promotes rather than hinders tribal sovereignty and the Federal tribal trust responsibility.
