We are exploring the psychological reasons for dialect erasure.

This emotional manifestation will create a discussion of storytelling through long-lasting, impactful impressions of our history and set the agenda of keeping with the dialect’s strong modernist heritage.

 European colonization of the Americas

Numerous atrocities against American Indians spanned hundreds of years, which led to large death tolls in the conquest of our land.

Fall from Bio Warfare

The American Indians were exposed to smallpox, measles or flu, and the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of the population.

Internal Cultural Decimation

To protect the future generations from experiences of racism and warfare, some members of past generations did not pass dialects on their descendants.
