~ As part of her ongoing work, Sophie assists in language restoration support projects, with attention to the essential role of Indigenous language restoration in landscape and relationship to place; to combating settler erasure of Indigenous languages and ways of being; to the rematriation of Indigenous language knowledges to their home communities; to supporting curriculum development for language learning; to careful engagement with language archives (both settler and non-settler); to respect for sovereign and private language knowledges; and with particular focus on Haudenosaunee languages and place names in Haudenosaunee territory.
If there are language restoration projects that you would like support with, please feel free to contact Sophie at sebrown@esf.edu. ~
