What areas do Gregory and David choose when they are looking for languages to research? 3. Who typically stops speaking the indigenous language, and why do you think that is? 4. What has been the role of boarding schools on the use of indigenous languages? Provide some examples. 5. What is the conflict between education for indigenous groups and preservation of language?

Why do researchers Gregory and David show indigenous people the audio and video records they created? 11. Using the website http://www.ethnologue.com/, find how many languages in the world are threatened or endangered, and which are the languages that have the fewest speakers in the world. Which region has the most threatened languages in the world? Instructions and cautions: Please develop a 2-3 page paper in which you discuss the importance of language to culture, the number of languages that are threatened today, what is being done to preserve them, and what is lost when a language dies along with weaving the answers to the questions above in a complete film evaluation. Be sure to use examples from the film or from the website, but try not to use the words directly used in the film. Say what you need to say in your own words, and allow any quotes you use to support what YOU are saying. When you upload your paper to Canvas through Turnitin, if your little folder icon is yellow or red, it will automatically not be accepted because your similarity percentages are just too high. This means you will need to rewrite your essay to reduce the similarity index to either a green or, ideally, a blue icon. You are allowed to submit your paper as many times as you need to before the deadline, but once the deadline has passed, you will NOT be allowed to rewrite your paper. Please be sure to consult the rubric below before you begin this project. If you use ANY outside sources, you MUST cite then in your paper where you are using them, and you also MUST list them at the end of your paper, otherwise, you will have committed plagiarism and your paper will not receive any credit. Do this more than once, and your paper will be sent to the Dean of Students and you will be required to meet with them. Anything beyond two times, and you will automatically fail the course and it will be up to the Dean of Students whether you will be dismissed from the university.
