David Treuer — Language and Meaning, an Ojibwe Story

On Being with Krista Tippett - Podcast autorstwa On Being Studios

Language is a carrier of human identity. It is a vehicle by which we understand and express our very sense of self. Novelist and translator David Treuer is helping to compile the first practical grammar of the Ojibwe language. He describes an unfolding experience of how language forms what makes us human. Some memories and realities, he has found, can only be carried forward in time by Ojibwe.
