Myaamiaatawenki: Myaamia Language & Culture 1

Catalog description

This course is the first of a two-course series that introduces the Myaamia language and culture. The goal of this class is to expose students to Myaamia language and culture and create thoughtful discussions about why maintaining the Myaamia heritage language and culture is important. This course will build off of the experiences, knowledge, and skills acquired in EDL 316 by adding greater linguistic and cultural complexities to students' knowledge of contemporary issues and historical and ecological contexts. The course will advance each student's use of the Myaamia language towards a more functional level. Students will be exposed to more immersive language environments and will demonstrate an ability to express simple wants and needs in the Myaamia language. Prerequisite: EDL 316 .
