Kim Walden of the Chitimacha Tribe (“People of many waters”) on Bayou Teche, Louisiana, is heading a monumental effort to revive this ancient, unique language, unrelated to any other. The local museum preserves the history of this tribe, its persecution, and their residential school experiences. An anthropologist made 200 hours of wax cylinder recordings before the last Sitimaxa speakers died in 1934. These recordings have been returned to the community and are important resources for their language rejuvenation project. A digital curriculum is being created using Rosetta Stone software.
