Tell me you know nothing of Native History without telling me you know nothing of Native History. RESERVATIONS ARE NOT REPARATIONS. TREATY RIGHTS ARE NOT REPARATIONS.

@PeledYael @geolinguistics @cm_jasmine @FJLarocque @Lydiebel1 @MjulianaAb @rosellam Secondly, the concept of 'language services ', whereas clearly makes a difference between health services and language services, could be (I think it is) dangerous. Language and identity are part of health care itself, never an attached subject.

Really grateful to @LasarteAitor for a great conversation yesterday about language oppression which I'll be sharing with students this semester. Bottom line: the ability to speak one's own language is often a matter of life or death.

I feel angry when people tell neurodivergent people ‘oh that happens to everyone’ or ‘everyone experiences that’, it goes without saying that neurotypical people experience some of the same stuff - but when you’re struggling to function it feels dismissive.

(See further, OCAP principles, RCAP, UN Decade of Indigenous Languages documentation, and there are quite a few papers out there on Language as Data Sovereignty.)

I think it's also important to note that Indigenous Languages are Indigenous Knowledge (see UNDRIP, for example) and that Ownership, Control, Access and Possession (OCAP principles) of Indigenous Knowledge falls under the Nation or community to whom it belongs (also UNDRIP).

Just got a notification that the chapter I wrote on the relationship between queer Indigenous people (especially Anishinaabeg) and language revitalization has been published! Sadly paywalled but dm or email me if you’d like a copy.

We're happy to introduce the Dakota land map of the Minnesota River Valley. You can visit the project page to learn more about sacred sites, get a free version to print at home, order prints and hear audio pronunciation by @huhamaza https://t.co/leAxA87829

Kids are also graded on "organization", so good luck to you kiddos with ADD/ADHD, I guess.

Here's @CBSSports announcers mocking @Big_I35's name on national television. If you get PAID to call games and say people's names, maybe research in advance to understand it's a Native American name. #ShockerNation

Interesting attestation of Basque!

Really great thread!

I can't believe this still has to be said, but here we are.

Really don't understand abled educators reluctance to using the word disabled. Like y'all really need to start reading what disabled people are actually saying. Framing disability in language as a liability isn't doing us any favours.

Every time I hear 'tuck' for Tuktoyaktok I cringe. The root word is Tuktu (took-too), not tuck-too. The place name is took-too-yaak-took, a place that looks like a caribou. You can do better @CBCNorth Yellowknife!

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). https://t.co/XH56AS0B8K

Hey everyone, a lot of you know Nick from here on Twitter. I got the opportunity to meet and hang out with him in June! He's had kind of a rough summer and is looking for some help, so if you can boost and/or donate, it would be much appreciated! https://t.co/oloXx2bNdQ
