THE REVIVAL OF THE MOHAWK LANGUAGE IN KAHNAWAKE
The Mohawks of Kahnawake are in the midst of a real-life experiment in revitalizing their language. To determine the current state of the language, Kahnawake residents completed a detailed questionnaire about the Mohawk skills of family members, about their own use of the language and their attitudes towards the language. Results indicate that efforts to teach the younger generation to speak Mohawk have been successful.
