Language Revitalization

On Thursday evenings Denaakkâe (Koyukon Athabascan) classes are held at Yukon-Koyukuk School District offices in Fairbanks and Huslia.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
