- Languages are disappearing but with this App, Darrick can save cultures.
Darrick is a developer who creates Native American language learning tools for tribes in Canada and the United States. This is his passion because he wants to help other tribes revitalize and pass on their ancestral teachings for generations. He has the expertise, tools and determination that can help save many dying languages around the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Wow, this is truly amazing! Native language apps using technology to save tribal languages.
I teach my peoples language to students K thru 8. What is needed is curriculum that engages the students home so it goes beyond the classroom. We need to educate the entire family not just the one student.
Thanks so much for releasing the app and source code for free. Your an absolute hero. I hope it becomes easier to learn cree and michif.
Is it possible for you to inspire yourself? Listening to this video really inspires me more so every day. I just love the TEDx stage and never felt that I would share it with all these amazing people. I just had one small message and an even smaller story but TEDx gave me an opportunity to share my heart with beautiful people. I love this so much.
darrick baxter Thank you so much for sharing this...my heart is full.
This moved me to tears ... that moment when you heard your daughter and her grandmother speaking in their native tongue. Unreal - this is such important work
Thank you for sharing you inspiring and important work! Very impressive!
You're doing divine work. I share your passion.
Great speech, Darrick! Its so nice to see you use technology for good some of the time instead of cyber-bullying disabled people on Facebook like you consistently do!
Very inspiring and important language preservation work in a format accessible to Native Americans and tribes in Canada, as well as everyone in the Universe!
Looking forward to hearing/meeting Darrick Baxter at this week's Native Innovation Education Technology Conference.
Fave quote:
08:50 The next time you're looking at your smartphone, why not download an app and learn how to speak in a new way?
Very brilliant! Thank you for commitment and passion!
This video was very insightful and proves just how important it is for us to revitalize indigenous languages before they are lost forever. I am interested in taking part in this movement by working on an app in my ancestral language (Mohawk) but am unsure how to go about this. Can you please provide me some tips/advice on this. Also, how can I access the source code and use it for my language? Thank you in advance and great talk. I really enjoyed learning about you efforts to revitalize your language.
Man, I loved your talk!!! We're just wondering about the same things here in North Afirca in our efforts to revive native Amazigh (Berber) dialects.
Do it! 💖
You should teach Amazigh, perhaps an Amazigh language channel.
Nice, Darrick. Way to go!
Awesome video :)
Bravo 😄😄😄😄😄
Ottomma an pyth ny wonn vy konvedhez. Here´s what I don´t get. In order to make the app he had to be able to speak the language. Rag gul an app rez o dhodho kewsel an yeth. Ha gans henna prag na wre kewsel an yeth orth an flogh diworth an dalleth. Therefore why not just speak the language to the child from the outset. That way she would have learned it naturally. Yndella hi a´s dyskse dell usyyz. Marnaz onan a´n gerens yw fest lowr. Just one of the parents is enough. I´ve seen several cases of this myself. My re welas hemma nebez tro ow honan. An kaletter yw, a vynn an flogh pesye gans an yeth woze gaze an chi? The problem is whether the child will continue using the language after leaving home. Will they ´own´ it, or see it simply as something to be left behind with childhood? A vynn hi y fiwe, poken y gwelez avel neppyth dhe voz gezyz gans flogholeth?
Великий человек!
Good job not everything is about money.
the Tohono O'odham tribe is dying ...only 23,000 members in the world...and only 10,000 speakers..bye bye
