The Cherokee Nation is Making Big Strides to Preserve Its Native Language

The Cherokee Nation is urging for more steps to keep the Cherokee language alive, announcing its latest efforts at the First Language & Fluent Cherokee Speaker Gathering.

• Start Them Young: First-language speakers are Cherokee citizens who have been speaking Cherokee since they were little kids. Many of them met Tuesday in Tahlequah to enjoy a meal and good conversation. The Durbin Feeling Language Act, is set to expire next year, but tribal leaders say they will introduce new legislation to the tribe's council by the end of the year to make the law permanent.

• Sacred Language: The Cherokee Nation Language Department is committed to preserving and perpetuating the Cherokee language through day to day spoken use and by generating more proficient second-language Cherokee speakers. A hub to help make that possible is Tahlequah’s Durbin Feeling Language Center. Cherokee leaders want to expand the center by building a $30-Million Cherokee Immersion middle school.
