Cherokee Nation, others weigh in on language struggles during pandemic

WASHINGTON – Native American leaders and advocates testified on May 26 that COVID-19 has had a “devastating effect” on fluent language speakers.

For example, the Kiowa Tribe in Oklahoma recently lost two of the tribe’s five fluent elder speaker mentors to COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic, there were only 20 fluent Kiowa speakers out of a population of 12,000.”
