Haa Tóoch Lichéesh is filled with gratitude as we welcome back Neelaatughaa Anna Clock as our teacher for another series of weekly online Lingít (Tlingit)! In this class, we will level-up in our abilities to understand, speak, and write in Lingít. We will study written speeches and recordings of fluent speakers, practice greeting each other and speaking from the heart, and hone our cultural and linguistic fluency for a long-term goal of respectful engagement with Elder speakers. Learners will work on a personal project as they are able during the week, and will review and share our work when we meet for class. We will work as a team to use the resources available to us and find our voices in the language. Gunalchéesh language revitalization partners Discovery Southeast and KTOO for continued support of this program. We appreciate you.
About the instructor: Neelaatughaa Anna Clock is of German descent on her matriline, and her fatherʼs people are Koyukon Athabascan from Kaltag, AK, and Eyak from Prince William Sound. She works full time as a Native language teacher, teaching both Lingít and Denaakkʼe (Koyukon Athabascan). She grew up in Seward, Alaska and now lives in Anchorage on the land of the Denaʼina people.
