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:
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
