Default Speak like a native
Most of the languages of the first nations are in trouble. Few people speak many of the 500+ languages. However many are trying to revive traditional languages and prevent thier exinction.
The most spoken native language is Dine or Navajo with 150,000 speakers,
Cherokee is spoken by 22,000 people out of a population of more than 350,000 and is the most published native language due to the early invention of the Cherokee sylabary.
Here are some begining resources for learning more about speaking the origional "american" language.

a good starting point with many links to individual languages and lessons.
http://www.native-languages.org/languages.htm

Native language is all around us especally in place names. Most states in the USA are based on First Nations names. All but 16 state names in fact.
check out: http://freespace.virgin.net/john.cle...t_am/names.htm
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aihmnames1.html
http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/IndianPlaceNames.html

IMHO there should be resources for children to learn native languages in public schools and in college. If we are going to require children learn a 'forign language' shouldn't we offer lerning 'native languages'?

a good place to start with Tsa-la-gi is the begining Cherokee book, they also have tapes so you can listen to the language for help with pronounciation.
check out: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...950088-3402542

there are some good web pages to help with learning Cherokee. Such as:
http://public.csusm.edu/raven/cherokee.dir/cher1.html
http://wehali.com/tsalagi/

hope this helps you on your way!

We were lucky in western Canada . Over the pass 15 or 20 years , I have watched friends work to preserve their languages before they were lost .

My godson's grandmother , a wonderful woman , could only speak a few words of English .. or perhaps would only speak a few words . She understood quite a few . She ran away from the residential school as a child , and refused to return .
