Hi! I'm an Indigenous Language activist and (amateur) Artist

jaebyrd (25)in #introduceyourself • 7 years ago

ɬaxayam kʰanawi nayka shiksh (hello all my friends),

I'm an Indigenous language activist working on languages of the Pacific Northwest in Oregon. I've been doing this work as my personal passion and profession for the last 10 years. Learning and teaching my ancestral languages has been immensely rewarding work and I'm more than happy to answer any questions about it folks may have.

I'm new to Steem and to many of the ideas about blockchains and cryptocurrencies, but I'm excited to learn more about 'em. In the realm of language revitalization it seems like we're always scrapping for funding from an ever shrinking pool of government money and being here makes me wonder if there are possibilities for support in places we haven't thought to look.

And here's one of my photos I'm proud of!

It's a traditional canoe of the Chinook Indian Nation of SW Washington.

I'm happy I stumbled here and I hope I can take part in the growth of the community!
