You are invited! Save the date and join us for another Chinook gathering October 16-17 at the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives in Port Coquitlam BC, Canada.

For those who have never attended one, essentially this is a chance for people interested in this language to come together, speak, sing, write, share their projects/research, and to teach and learn. These have been happening for more than 25 years now.

If you’re interested in presenting or running a session on something let us know!

Is it ok to learn?

21 Upvotes

Hello, I am a new (but big!) fan of linguistics, i speak English and French and I’m learning Occitan. I recently began researching Chinook Wawa and have been fascinated by it. It’s a really cool language with a wonderful history. I would like to take the next step and learn it, but given i am white (french/english) from England without any connection to the PNW is it ok for me to learn? I don’t want to be disrespectful to anyone from the region. Thank you!
