From my point of view, every time a language is lost, an entire way of life is lost. Ideas, insights, foods, art, culture, all gone.
Here's a video about a group of Wampanoag Indians in South Eastern Massachussetts that are reviving their dead language and the culture it represents. It looks like it's been a lot of work, but it appears to be bearing fruit.
Why is this important? I'll let the people involved tell their story.
