Member Shirley Kinoshita informed us of the upcoming showing of TONGUES OF HEAVEN (60mins) which focuses on the questions, desires and challenges of young indigenous people to learn their mother tongue. Using digital video, four young indigenous women collaborate and exchange ideas about the impact of language on identity and culture. With 96% of the world speaking only % of the world's languages, what does it mean to speak your mother tongue? What do you lose when you lose your native language? These are just some of the questions these women explore.
Also on the 19th, join us for our monthly potluck! (Details to follow)
