Does your school have a Tlingit name? What does the Tlingit name mean? Are you comfortable pronouncing it? How can you advocate for an Indigenous school name if your school does not have one? Do you want to improve your Tlingit pronunciation and overall understanding?
In this session, we will learn the Tlingit names of the schools and practice how to say them. We will break down each sound and the meaning of the names. If your school does not have a Tlingit or Indigenous name, we will discuss ideas on how to support the idea of obtaining one.
After this session, you will improve your Tlingit language pronunciation and understanding and be more prepared to pass this knowledge on to others. Let’s work together to kindle the flame of the original language of this land and make it commonplace in everyday situations. Gunalchéesh.
