Bibliography of Tahltan Materials

.
An Annotated Bibliography of Tahltan Language Materials

John Alderete - Simon Fraser University, Department of Linguistics

Thomas McIlwraith - Douglas College, Department of Sociology & Anthropology

The purpose of this paper is to list and summarize materials on the Tahltan language, including linguistic and anthropological research papers, dictionaries, collections of stories, and teaching materials. We hope that the bibliography will give language teachers, linguists, anthropologists, and all others interested in Tahltan language and culture (and Athabaskan languages in general) an awareness of what materials exist and how they might be useful in a range of scholarship.

Tahltan Language and Culture – Chad Day

.
Check out this amazingly crafted video by Chad Day about Tahltan culture, language loss and some positive solutions for honoring, protecting and ensuring a bright Tahltan future. Chad writes:

A video that describes a concern for the future loss of the Tahltan language. This video was completed at the University of Alberta and was made to not only bring awareness to the importance of language within Aboriginal culture and identity, but to wrap up my time spent in Edmonton by giving thanks to the Cree nation and showcasing some of the things I've learned while obtaining my degree here over the past three years
