Program:
Today’s topic is a dictionary!
Before you start yawning, consider how much culture is bound up in this one book, and how much power it holds for anyone willing to open its cover. I’ll be speaking with Dr Sharon Hargus, Linguistics professor at the University of Washington. Sharon visits Moricetown a couple of times a year to provide her expertise and to capture Witsuwit’en—until now an oral language—in print.
