Charley Horse: Revitalizing An Indigenous Language

Improved Essays
Every language has unique patterns, words and grammar structure, it is why while using google translator, it is more accurate to translate a single word rather then a paragraph. Another example would be idioms, which referring to phrase or word with native cultural understanding. For an American born and raise, the phrase “charley horse” usually referring to a muscle cramp in the leg. However to a foreigner or someone who didn’t grow up in a traditional American family, the phrase may be confusing and has no meaning.

I believe in order to revitalizing an indigenous language, first of all it is important to understand its culture. For the reason that from a non-native speaker point of view, it may be difficult to understand the true meaning

    In this article, Lee Maracle discusses how Native people handle situations with enemies, paths to take in life, education and the laws of the land. Maracle begins with discussing her personal life, "I sought the teachings of my grandmother" (36) to enhance the reader's understanding of the complexity of Native people inheriting and learning everything from their elders.

(37) Maracle then furthers her discussion of life paths with the discussion of education systems and educating on traditions, laws, and values for young children. She discusses the difference…

    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures. For some Native peoples, their very survival is dependent on preserving their language and particular ways of life. While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

    The short story “Abitibi Canyon” by Joseph Boyden consists of several important principles of Indigenous people that I would like to make connections in three different ways. The connections I have chosen are issues that I learned in school, hear of and personally encountered with. Making connections from prior knowledge deepens people’s understanding of problems that others may deal with on a daily base. In today’s society, it is human nature to judge others by their actions and appearance without realizing that they are doing so. For the past couple of weeks, I have been watching Tell My Story, Blind Date, which is a series of YouTube videos by SoulPancake that make videos of things that they think matter, and the specific video…

    The Dreaming is the foundation of Aboriginal spirituality, providing a basis upon which kinship systems, traditions, rituals and ceremonies are built. The effect of dispossession and the Stolen Generation on Aboriginal Spiritualties has lead to both separation of the land and separation of kinship groups; where the elders were not able to pass on dreaming stories to the younger generation, knowledge, tradition and language have been lost. Although the Darug Indigenous community’s language was lost, some descendants of the Darug clans in Western Sydney are aiming to revive Dharug as a spoken language. This region is very close to the Bidjigal community and ‘At St Mary's Chifley College Dunheved Campus the Dharug Byalla language have created…

Surprisingly, lots of people still don’t know who they are, but they were some of the most important soldiers who served in World War II. They might even be the reason that the Allied powers won the war! The Navajo Code talkers are a group of about 400 Navajo soldiers who created and used a secret code using the Navajo language, which turned out to be extremely useful.…

    1) The main topic of the article is the importance of Indigenous research paradigms and gaining culturally sensitive knowledge for the purpose of social work. In order for Indigenous communities to thrive in modern society (instead of being pressured to conform to European standards), it is crucial that people respect their way of looking at the world. From a social work perspective, it is important to understand the culture which one aims to help. Using a European method of healing is not useful in the context of Indigenous social work and by learning about Indigenous worldviews, they can be able to help the Indigenous community. 2) The issue being discussed is that there is a need for Indigenous worldviews to be acknowledged as a valid…

    Born and raised on the City of Gold Coast I had little understanding of the ways of Aboriginal people. I didn’t come in contact with many indigenous while growing up. There may have been one or two Torres strait islanders in my class but I never really paid much attention to where they came from I just treated them like other class mates. This didn’t help me broaden my knowledge of their culture, as we never discussed it.…

    The effect the European American’s culture had on the Native Americans is still very prominent today because the stereotypical American Indian still persists both in life and literature. By erasing their languages and teaching European ways exclusively, the Native American culture has slowly disappeared. The culture has been slowly degraded by an increase of acceptance of Native American stereotypical attributes such as alcoholism, laziness, and gambling addictions among others. Indigenous people were deeply affected by European American culture and have been fighting stereotypes to rebuild the foundations of their identity that have been neglected throughout a painful history. Often times, stereotypes can be positive, but more often than…

In the 1800’s when colonization consistently terrorized American Indians, this was the beginning of loss greater than one can imagine. Us history is able to be told today because it is founded and supported by a language continuum. Language can be a barrier but it can also have the power to tell time and reconnect us to our ancestral beings. Currently, there are American Indian tribes that have ultimately loss that connection.…

    Upon reading through the selection of indigenous writers, Lee Maracle’s short essay “Oratory : Coming to Theory”, presented an incredibly unique and powerful point of view. For me, this piece was particularly impactful due to it’s perspective, her relation of theories to stories, and the deconstruction of language used in traditionally european theories. For generations, students of many different disciplines encounter theories that they must come to know intimately. Despite these disciplines being vastly different in their applications, most groups learn theories written by white European men. So, to encounter a dissertation written by an indigenous Canadian woman is rare, but so refreshing.…

    In respect to language shifting, it has been seen now that it is mostly the older individuals in the society that speak their indigenous language. Most homes speak only English to their children so there is no way for them to really master the language. Language is best mastered if the individual learning it can practice it. If a child learns the indigenous language in school but has no means of practicing outside class, there would be no way the child would be able to master the…
