NOVEMBER 20, 2000 After some 150 years of not being spoken or written, Wopanaak, the language of the Wampanoag Tribes, is being brought back to life by a tribal member in Massachusetts. Jessie Little Doe Fermino began the reclamation effort while a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Using written documents dating as far back to the 1600s, she was able to reconstruct the language and now teaches it to other tribal members. Fermino sponsored a language reclamation conference at the university this past June. Get the Story:
