Missionaries tried to wipe our language with Native Schooling. My ancestors were beaten for speaking their language in class. 1980s, we fought back and our language is alive and thriving. We now have schools. Its a shame that this particular language is lost in speech, but with what little there is on these recordings remains alive. Would be nice to hear them without any other noise overriding them...
From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth, on the earth You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home Land of my fathers I can't leave you now We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay Under the endless sky and the earth below Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay
@@alvarojacome3191 dont you understand? They can’t and if they do none of their americanized people will want to do anything because they will want to assimilate. Their children aren’t even theirs. They are literally being indoctrinated as we speak. The more they go to school they more they will want to fit in.
Wow hearing my Native Ancestors voice and Original language here in my Americas today is a feeling I can't explain and the yurok voice is clear Long live the Narragansett and to my Brother's and Sisters from all tribe's WE SHALL REMAIN
Interesting how the 1907 recording, had lame background music. Oh, I get it, that's the work of some idiot who didn't realize we'd rather hear the recordings then their interruptions.
they probably don’t have many you can understand. like they said, a lot of them are moldy, scratched, broken, and the tech they used to record wasn’t very good
i am sicangu my family and i speak fluent lakota at home, and of course english when we are talking to non relatives. we will protect our language and hope people will learn our language as well!
It would be nice if you made something like a language textbook at home. The alphabets, number system, punctuation, grammar and some hours of recordings on lessons to learn how it’s supposed to sound. That would preserve it forever.
We have to treat these recordings like gold. We can’t lose our sacred Native American heritage. Thank you to all that do this. Peace, love, and light to you!
Is there a link to the actual archive of restored recordings? I get that the point of this video was to introduce the project but I would love to hear more of the recordings.
Yeah, or at least recordings that didn't have to be restored. They also have lexical resources. Here's the link: cla.berkeley.edu/california-languages.php
Thank u so much for keeping our languages alive I'm trying my best to find out where I'm from and my soul called me to pick up move to Florida... I feel as if I have been called back home 😭❤️❣️🙏🏾
I am a First Nation I belong to woodland cree nation and I always wished I could discover and learn our first language as indigenous people, that would be a life time goal for all our people.. a lot of our people are losing our first language soon it will be lost forever as our elders pass on to the spirit world.
I AM SO HAPPY PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA EXIST. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Thank you for preserving the past Thank you for working hard to preserve these important people of our past. For We are All Americans today...but they are the Native Americans of the Past. These beautiful people whose cultures and populations were decimated and almost completely wiped off the face of North America need to be remembered for being the originals of this wonderful nation. THANK YOU ALL for existing.
Guys a little advice, do you want to record these guys with an Iphone 12 in 2021 speaking those same languages? Go to Southern Mexico in the mountains, there's thousands of people who still speak Yaqui, Mayan and Aztec.
I have a colleague in Vienna who is doing the same for the Caucasus. This is also an area of many tiny languages. Many of the people there were deported under Stalin and were allowed to return later. The recordings tell us of villages that we did not know to exist, and of village life long gone.
Some European languages got wiped out too in the same way. I know kids used to be beaten in school for lapsing into Gaelic in the Scottish Highlands at any rate. I think the idea was one, assimilation to British culture and two, the teachers thought they might get better work on the mainland by learning English. Our language is almost dead, but it is making a revival. Really hope that people preserve their native heritages and record their own words instead of allowing someone else to butcher your story.
To understand any language forgotten is to listen to feel it's vibration and frequency.. it's likely the written form shall never become available for recording.. however, one must always note vibration (tone) of expression speaking.... Lost but found
Amazing that long defunct languages are given a new life and can be studied. Otherwise they would joint countless other languages forgotten by history.
The tape of her speaking is little.. But it's probably so exciting for you guys bc you guys have been working on this for a long time and finally you get a acsent from the person.. ❤️
In spite of destruction of the indigenous people of North America, the linguistics of their language lives on through technology and their recorded voices. It is a true treasure that we can learn about them through the dedication of these researchers. Than you!
I'm 68. I still have several hundred records from my misspent youth, as well as some from my father's collection. So these records span from about 1950 to about 1985 (I quit buying records when CDs became available). I've kept my records because for decades I've been hoping for someone to build equipment that scans them with a laser, just like these. Maybe some day. Of course, I suspect that each and every one is available today as a download, so it's probably just an academic exercise.

I really wish this video contained more of the actual recordings instead of how wax cylinders are made and how valuable they are. Let us actually hear them!
its a terrible shame that so much knowledge, language, skill and culture from every land in this world has been lost and destroyed by the acts, thoughts and deeds of total greedy, evil, idiotic fools.
Contrary to what Wikipedia says, they're not actually "wax" cylinders. Edison tried that material and failed early on. The brown cylinders are made of a metalized soap compound. These had to be cut directly and couldn't be reproduced. It was the introduction of the "Gold Moulded" cylinders made out of a plastic-like cellulose material which allowed for recordings to be reproduced. Those were black and were then superseded by the blue phenolic versions.
This work is critical to ending the cultural genocide that was the government schools where students were forced to speak the dominant language- English. Language is heritage, there are efforts world wide to stop cultural erosion through the reestablishment of Indigenous language and place names. Tribal colleges and secondary schools in the US, nationwide programs to use the Indigenous Welsh names of places and areas, the Republic of Ireland requires schools to include modern Gaelige as part of the national curriculum. What’s more, these programs are beginning to work! New generations of young people are reclaiming their heritage and history. The Māori of New Zealand, the Saàmi of Norway, and the Sisiskia or Blackfoot Nation as well as the Navajo Nation are all wonderful examples of Indigenous Nations who are using language as a cultural to make a cultural comeback! And all power to them!
I love purple hair and the shirt. Good work guys fascinating. Sad to hear lost language. So glad my people are working hard teaching my language..see it on RU-vid a lot. So proud of Jonathan Nez being covid-19 leadership Please submit him 4 CNN Heroes award
So we're the wax cylinders intentional recordings, or did they inadvertently invent a way to record sound by having the wax cylinders nearby while singing and talking?
this is what I am searching to know. I asked myself, English = England. why did the Americans speaks English? This is the answer. Please do preserve, prescribe and utilize it.
Ohlone/Costanoan languages, (Rumsen, specifically,) sound like they have similarities in tone and phonology to Athabascan dialects from the southwest and much less so to Inuit/Athabascan dialects to the north. I wonder if they were ever related languages. It'd be interesting to have Navajo and Chiricahua listen to the greater collection of recordings to see if there are significant phonic overlaps or even some similarities in structure and vocabulary, allowing for the fact that Individual meanings sometimes change significantly for originally equivalent, like sounding words.
I clicked into some of the sound recording links, but nothing is available online. Too bad. In any case, are native American languages mainly tonal or non-tonal?
I JUST WANT TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORDING! Thumbs down. This video isn't about preserving an original recording of native american language, it's just about promoting how amazing the technology is, without delivering what's promised.

U.S. of america and the ideals of liberty werent born in 1776, they were born over 10,000 years ago with the great indiginous peoples of this continent.
It seems that you idealize native indians. They were (and they are) usual pre-civilization people whose main need was to survive. Nothing romantical. Btw, the USA has neglected principles of freedom etc etc many many times since 1776. So you overestimate Americans (both native and modern).
In my area at estonia are language wich is dying out slowly my dad still speaks it and uncel but not mother and grandmothers still speak it . But now are schools estonain language and i seto language is dying sloely out . I dont understand some hard words wich arent similar to estonain . This place where i live is named setomaa in estonian .
I hope you get them all copied and transferred because eventually the wax will melt and people forget so easily about people when they don’t value them anymore graveyards prove this o so well
As a European I am convinced that Americans need to realize that on their continent there were also killed people who were different from the "european/american standards" (indigenous) and they should not always point at Germans etc for murdering Jews... Genocide happens all around the world and it's very important to keep that in mind
