Dr. Walkie Charles is a Yupʼik language professor and the Director of the Alaska Native Language Center. He joins us to talk about his approach to language teaching, surviving and overcoming horrendous boarding school experiences, and brushing off the terrible parts of life in order to be yourself in language reclamation movements. The Boarding School Era, known as the Residential School Era in Canada, is a horrible and inhumane part of the histories of the United States and Canada. Dr. Charles is a survivor of that era, and has emerged as one of the most powerful voices in Indigenous Language reclamation efforts in Alaska.
