Language decline in many immigrant and ethnic communities is always a persistent problem in America. To prevent Native tribal languages from becoming obliterated, several organizations have been founded to document and teach Indigenous languages, a number of tribes have crafted ambitious language policies, and Congress approved the Native American Languages Act in 1990. This article focuses on efforts at invigorating Indigenous languages generally, and Neshnabemwen specifically. The author examines the current status of the Potawatomi language, describes tribal and national language revitalization projects and programs, and considers the implications of these endeavors.
