The Caddo Nation Language Preservation Program’s goal is to halt and reverse the loss of the critically endangered Caddo tribal language over time. The Caddo Nation language program has established an archive and library of publicly and privately available cultural resources. New language learning resources will be developed as Caddo community members contribute their own recordings to the archive.
Call to action: Do you have old Caddo song or language tapes? The Caddo Nation Language Program has free digitization services available for any Caddo descendants who want to preserve their family's recordings. Upon digitization, the family can have free unlimited copies of their recordings and will get their original media back. Please reach out to Alaina Tahlate, director of language preservation, to make arrangements to preserve our language and culture. Email: Atahlate@mycaddonation.com Office: (405) 656-0991
The Caddo Nation's language program has integrated with other Caddo Nation programs through community outreach events to create more opportunities for Caddo families to share their communal knowledge of our Caddo history, language and culture with one another. Come to our upcoming events below.
