  • Louis Levi Oakes, Last of the Mohawk Code Talkers, Dies at 94
    Louis Levi Oakes, Last of the Mohawk Code Talkers, Dies at 94 By Daniel E. Slotnik June 4, 2019 Louis Levi Oakes, the last of the Mohawk code talkers, who helped American soldiers triumph in the Pacific Theater during World War II, along with code talkers from other tribes, died on May 28 at a care facility near his home on the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation in Quebec. He was 94. The death was confirmed by his granddaughter Teresa Oakes. The code talkers, a group of several hundred soldiers, used their indigenous languages to create impenetrable ciphers as a way of securely relaying vital information on the battlefield. Most of them were Navajos, more than 400 of whom participated in an extensive Marine Corps program. But code talkers from other tribes, including the Hopi, Comanche and Mohawk, also played a role. Mr. Oakes was one of about 24 from the Mohawk tribe, whose lands are mostly in upstate New York and Canada. David A. Hatch, the National Security Agency’s senior historian, said in an interview on Tuesday that about 30 indigenous languages were used in battle and that about 10, including Mohawk, became the basis for more complicated codes, in which traditional words or phrases became metaphors for matériel. The word for “turtle,” for instance, might be used for tank. Mr. Oakes, who was a technician fourth grade in the Army and served in New Guinea, the Philippines and the South Pacific, never spoke much about his service. “All he ever told us was that they gave him a piece of paper and said, ‘Say this in Mohawk to somebody else on the line,’ and he just did what he was told,” his granddaughter said.

  • Sustaining Indigenous Languages Looking Back, Looking Forward Inge Genee and Conor Snoek
    Sustaining Indigenous Languages Looking Back, Looking Forward Inge Genee and Conor Snoek In the past decade or so, the endangerment of many of the world’s Indigenous and other minority languages has begun to percolate into the public consciousness, becoming part of the wider debate about cultural, environmental, and economic sustainability. The United Nations declaration of 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages (en.iyil2019.org) can be considered emblematic of the rise in global awareness of the threat of language extinction. Popular press articles about language endangerment are becoming more common, and local papers often comment on initiatives to revitalize or maintain Indigenous languages of a specific group or territory. In addition, social media groups promote and support individual language communities and provide a means of connecting speakers living outside their communities of origin. It is becoming clearer all the time that language maintenance has many benefits in addition to the preservation of unique ways of seeing the world, including mental and physical health benefits (Biddle and Swee 2012; Hallett et al. 2007; Whalen et al. 2016), community benefits (Romero-Little et al. 2011) and educational benefits (Huffmann 2018; Luning and Yamaguchi 2010; Reyhner 2017). Indigenous language communities and linguists working in Indigenous language documentation and related fields have been aware of the threat to In- digenous languages for several decades. Passionate writings calling the linguistic community to action emerged as early as the 1990s (Crawford 1998; Grenoble and Whaley 1998; Hinton 1997; Krauss 1992), but, like the climate scientists who long warned of a looming crisis, linguists and language activists have struggled to be heard.

  • Article Title
    Dennis L. Malone and Isara Choosri Stabilizing Indigenous Languages 1 Symposium Report Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Dennis L. Malone and Isara Choosri* A note from Pat Kelley, SIL International Literacy Coordinator Few of our field practitioners are strategically located for attending some of the conferences around the world that may be related to the work we do in literacy. Also, in many cases, especially if no paper is being presented, there may be limited funds available for transportation. Yet there is much to be learned from such conferences: for example, vocabulary and new terminology, current trends, what’s “out there” in the prominent theory and practice of related fields applicable to our work, current research, issues defined by the “voices” for literacy, etc. For that reason, when our SIL literacy personnel and national colleagues do attend or present at a conference, on occasion we’ll include a “Conference Report” … so that our field personnel may glean information from them. When possible, contact details will be provided in order to request additional information. These reports will reflect the growing trend in the Literacy domain for copresenting and coauthoring, which hopefully will continue as we determine to see capacity building in this area among our national colleagues. Dennis Malone (SIL International in Bangkok, Thailand), and Isara Choosri (Institute of Language and Culture for Rural Development at Mahidol University at Salaya, Thailand) coauthor this report of the Ninth Annual Symposium on Stabilizing Indigenous • Dennis Malone ([email protected]) is an International Literacy Consultant, serving with his wife Susan in the Asia Area. He is involved in minority language education projects in the Asia Area and also serves as a guest lecturer at the ILCRD.

Introduction We begin by positioning ourselves and our work in the context of this paper. We are all non-Indigenous academics working at Canadian universities. Heather Bliss, Inge Genee, and Marie-Odile Junker are linguists who specialize in Canadian Indigenous languages of the Algonquian family. Our work attempts to combine conventional Western linguistic methods and theories of language description and analysis with feminist and Participatory Action Research methods (Chevalier and Buckles; Genee and Junker; Junker) to carry out community-based work (Czaykowska-Higgins; Rice). We employ collaborative applied and Indigenous methods and theories with the goal to support communities’ efforts to document, stabilize, maintain, revitalize and reclaim their ancestral languages and transmit them to the next generations. Daniel Paul O’Donnell is a researcher within the Digital Humanities and Scholarly Communication. His work involves understanding and mobilizing new approaches to Scholarly Communication in the internet age, particularly as these involve cultural or disciplinary differences and the culture of research (e.g. Moore, Neylon, et al.; Tennant, Dugan, et al.; Bordalejo, O’Donnell, et al.; O’Donnell, Bordalejo, et al.).

Dictionaries for endangered languages, including Blackfoot, have to serve all audiences at once, since there are generally not the resources available to publish different dictionaries for different purposes, age and fluency levels, as is usual for dictionaries of major languages. The translator must therefore carefully consider how a dictionary can meet all levels of users: speakers, learners, and teachers.
