WE WILL SPEAK
"With fewer than 1,500 fluent speakers left, a small group of Cherokee activists race to save their language from disappearing."
Directed by Michael McDermit
The Cherokee language is deeply tied to Cherokee identity; yet generations of assimilation efforts by the U.S. government and anti-Indigenous stigmas have forced the Tri-Council of Cherokee tribes to declare a State of Emergency for the language in 2019.
