Language of America [Film Screening]
In recognition of Native American Heritage Month and Universal Human Rights Month, the Community & Belonging Commission presents Language of America
"Ben Levine takes us deep into New England's last surviving Indian places and languages, revealing a 9,000-year-old success story that's been pushed to the edge of extinction by a government that proclaims "diversity" but doesn't want to practice it with Native peoples who resist being assimilated. The film explores Indian language, philosophy, and community as never before. It shows how Indian words reveal an inherent connectedness between people, nature and spirit. The film bears witness to America's history of Indian human rights abuse, yet it inspires hope by promoting an understanding of diversity that accepts Native peoples' inextricably shared history and destiny with their neighbors"
