How do you keep alive an endangered language? By singing it loud and proud!

Sing along and you, too, will learn how to count to three, make the basic sounds, say hello and thank you in Cherokee!
Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Recently, the Cherokee Nation declared a state of emergency for their language. With Say It! Sing It! Play It! In Cherokee, Chris taps into the power of playfulness to counter the rapid disappearance of indigenous languages.
Chris developed this performance, directed by Julie Boada, with support from an Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
