- W2290189141 abstract "Southern Ute is a severely endangered Uto-Aztecan language spoken in southwestern Colorado by forty speakers out of a tribe of around 1,400. In 2011, a small group of adult tribal members with a strong desire to learn Ute as a second language began a collaborative, community-based, grassroots language revitalization and repatriation project on the Southern Ute reservation. This case study provides insight into language endangerment and revitalization, language ideologies, linguistic identity, revitalization pedagogy, and language as power. During this project the group encountered challenges typical of endangered language revitalization such as lack of teaching material, the contradictory role of writing in gaining fluency in an endangered language, the transition of a speaker to a teacher, and differing views of effective language learning methods. A total of eighty-nine community members ranging in age from two to eighty-seven years participated in this project. The diversity of students created a pedagogical situation in which the range of objectives, learning styles, and interest levels required adaptation and flexibility. We discuss possible solutions to these challenges. We also provide insight into the tenacity of heritage language learners who continue to fight for linguistic self-determination and justice, even when faced with opposition from their tribal government and community. 1. INTRODUCTION. The Southern Ute Tribe, located in southwestern Colorado, is considered a leader in Native America. This impeccable reputation came from the innovative and proactive ways the tribal leaders planned for the future generations of the tribe. The Southern Ute Tribe went from hunter-gatherers to earning an AAA Finch rating (Wilkinson 2005), which is the highest credit rating possible for global finance entities. There are forty fluent speakers of Southern Ute out of a tribal membership of approximately 1,400 members (Oberly 2008). The Southern Ute Language is clearly a severely endangered language, yet before fall 2011 no adult Southern Ute language classes were offered on the Southern Ute reservation. Since 2000 Ute language instruction has been provided for 130 children, aged six weeks through sixth grade, attending the 100 percent tribally funded private Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy (Olguin, pers. comm.). This leaves children attending public school or past the sixth grade and all other tribal members with no Ute language instruction. With so few fluent Ute speakers, there was a great need for Southern Ute language instruction and instructional materials. In 2011 the revitalization team, a small group of Southern Ute tribal members, decided to fill the need for Southern Ute language instruction and gain linguistic sovereignty. Our efforts demonstrated a model of collaborative grassroots activism that provides an excellent case study of self-determination, decolonization, and linguistic justice on the Southern Ute reservation." @default.
