"We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân"

The Decolonize to Liberate Working Group will be following up with their successful community gathering by showing a film by Anne Makepeace, "We Still Live Here." This hour long film documents the efforts of Jessie Little Doe Baird, a recent winner of a MacArthur 'genius' award, to reclaim the Wampanoag Native language, which had not been spoken in nearly 100 years. Noam Chomsky has said: "There is nothing l know of that's anything like the Wampanoag case." Intersections of race, class, and gender can be clearly seen in the documentary.
