Cherokee Language Lesson #2 With Eagle Two Feathers

This show from the archive, recorded in 2019. This is a follow-up to the first interview with the elder Eagle Two Feathers. Here, we discuss study strategies for learning basic Cherokee. At the end is footage from the Taino Brother Luis Ramos's Indigenous Women's event in the Bronx.

A lot if this is wrong. If you want to learn Cherokee, learn it from only **first language speakers**. The second best thing is learning from very advanced second language learners who’ve been **certified** to teach by CN, ECBI, or UKB. A great place to start is Ed Field’s (OK) free online classes or Myrtle Driver’s (NC) free online classes. Cherokee language is critically endangered, and we have to be careful to learn it correctly from only fluent speakers directly, and without distorting or corrupting it!

I'm White presenting Cherokee and you are Black presenting but we are Cherokee. My family speaks Cherokee and this gentleman knows what's he's talking about.

I grew up in Cherokee, NC.This guy does not have the facial phenotype of a Native American.You have to be living in fantasyland to think otherwise.

Glad to see that this language is being preserved for generations to come.

Oh wow, wondered what happened to him... glad he is still well.. too bad that the corona virus occurred in New York.. wouldve been dope if he & his students couldve reestablished the school. I feel they wouldve got waay more support & funding now than before.

This is amazing. Just seeing you 2 AMERICAN men up there uplifts my spirit and my soul. I am learning some of the languages. Is there anyway we can connect???? I am very serious about learning our mother tongues so that we can keep our culture and ancestors alive.

Is it just me or can anybody else know an Indian when u see them? Because we can easily get mistaken for African but I’m to a point where I can see it

You can here how the Geechi Creol was created

[kernjames]

Two Feathers is a great teacher. Yes, to understand any culture one would need to learn the language of the people. It is frustrating that our school systems don't emphasize learning languages other than just English.
