| dc.description.abstract | Drawing on research with Chickasaw citizens committed to Chikashshanompa’ (Chickasaw language) reclamation work, this chapter focuses on how Chikashshanompa’ learners and teachers engage in nation-building as they work to ensure the continuance of Chikashshanompa’ for future generations. Complementing Michelle Cooke’s chapter about teaching university Chickasaw language courses, I draw upon findings of 5 years of research during 2010–2015 with Chickasaws committed to learning, teaching, and actively using Chikashshanompa’. Together, we dedicate our chapters to the life’s work of Jerry Imotichey (1938–2016)—Michelle’s co-instructor and a language teacher to both of us. Jerry passed on in 2016, having inspired many with his love for his first language and passion for teaching others. | en_US |
