Founder & Editor in Chief

Dear Language Advocate:
Finally! I’ve had a bit of time to edit a short language video with Edwin Benson, the last man alive born into speaking Mandan as a first language. Benson, 78, lives in Twin Buttes, N.D., my home community on the Fort Berthold Reservation. Mandan, or Nu’eta, is one of the endangered languages of the world. Benson has been working with community members to revitalize the language. I’m honored to share those recordings.
In this video, listen to the word of the day: No. Mikosh.
Thanks for being a part of the Twin Buttes Community language revitalization project.
