We Still Live Here: A Language Is Not Just Words

Clip: Season 13 Episode 5 | 3m 18s

A new generation is breathing life into what was once thought to be a lost language.

Through special learning camps, the Wampanoag are helping each other to recover their triabl language, stories, and connection to one another. They have realized that a language is not just words: it's a culture, tradition, and what creates what a community is.
