Just to clarify, the demise of Scottish Gaelic has not yet happened, but the language is certainly considered threatened. However, government programs in Scotland and Nova Scotia and organizations like An Comunn Gaidhealach Ameireaga (The Gaelic Society of North America)are helping to sustain the recent resurgence of the language.
I am Choctaw/Cherokee and a Fulbright Scholar. I am also an elder in Kalpulli Ehecatl, community of the wind, an Aztec dance group in the Mexica Red Tradition. I was in Aotearoa (New Zealand) to study Maori Language Revitalization and learning a lot.
I have recently returned from visiting Scottish and Irish Gaelic revitalization efforts and currently live in Belize.
