There’s an app for that: Inside the technological battle to save Indigenous languages

Open this photo in gallery:

Yvette Mollen, a professor, researcher, author and web content developer whose work is focused on preserving Innu-aimun, an Algonquian language spoken by Innu people in Quebec and Labrador.Amélie Philibert

“I will fight until the day I die for my language to survive and thrive.”

Yvette Mollen’s passion for championing Innu-aimun is unwavering. The professor, researcher, author and web content developer has dedicated most of her adult life to recording, preserving and passing on her ancestors’ tongue, an Algonquian language spoken by some 10,000 Innu in Quebec and Labrador. One way she does this is by developing interactive online games that help children learn Innu-aimun, while also seeing how their people lived, and still could live, on the land.

For Ms. Mollen — the recipient in 2024 of the Order of Quebec for her linguistic initiatives — Innu-aimun is the language closest to her heart, but all languages matter and deserve support to stay alive.

“Because if the Creator had wanted us all to speak the same language, he would have made it so,” she says.

In fact, the United Nations estimates that of the 7,000 or so languages spoken worldwide today, some 47 per cent are threatened or endangered, most of them Indigenous tongues. In Canada, there are more than 70 distinct Indigenous languages spoken by First Nations, Inuit and Métis, but according to Canada’s 2021 census, only 13.1 per cent of the Indigenous population reported knowing how to speak their traditional languages, down from 21.4 per cent in 2006.

What’s more, there is not a single Indigenous language in Canada that is not at risk, with the level of peril going from vulnerable (when a given language is still “used by some children in all domains” or “by all children in some domains”) to definitely,…

Last of the French Mohicans

Ever true to his origins, Jean-Marie Le Pen liked to say that his surname meant ‘boss’ in Breton. Yet it is ironic to hear his enemies and detractors now calling him that. An intelligent man and a cunning politician, he was also ironic, and he often used irony as a weapon in verbal confrontations.

His career was as difficult as it was formidable: from his humble beginnings to his election as MP when he was just 27 years old; from his experience as a volunteer fighter to the founding of the Front National (FN); from 1972 onwards until he reached the second round of the presidential elections, 30 years later, to general astonishment. He inspired passion and hatred, and he suffered political, personal, and family attacks; but he never gave up.

The press was eager to see his failures, but Le Pen was able to combine erudition with truculence into a combative eloquence. Unsurprisingly, he became a media phenomenon and an important political figure in France and Europe. He was an inspiration for many European movements and parties. It is therefore easy to understand why a man who had lived through war and political struggle with the greatest of his time would regard today’s politicians in the way that a giant would view a bunch of dwarfs.

In 1997, in Libération, Jean Baudrillard wrote that “The only political discourse in France today is that of Le Pen. All the others are moral and pedagogical, the rhetoric of teachers and lecturers, managers and programmers.” He made mistakes and excesses, he was uncompromising, provocative and aggressive, but he always defended his France, his people, and his civilization. He was eternal in resistance.

There is an iconic poster from the 1990s, made by the FN Youth, showing…

Nanticoke Area secures third straight year with no tax hike

The Greater Nanticoke Area Board of Education adopted a nearly $45 million budget for the 2025-26 school year Thursday, securing residents a third consecutive year without a tax hike.

Board of Education President Tony Prushinsk said he was “elated” about the avoidance of a tax hike, according to a statement the district issued Thursday.

The adopted budget schedules $44.68 million in expenditures and collects $44.11 million in revenue. It imposes a property tax of $12.8083 per $1,000 of assessed valuation in the 2025-26 school year, the same rate the district had in the two years prior. A Nanticoke Area homeowner with a homestead property assessed at the median value of $76,300 would face a tax bill of $977.27 at this rate.

The proposed final budget posted online indicates that homeowners would be collectively eligible for $1.23 million worth of homestead exclusion for taxes on certain, owner-occupied properties. The homestead exclusion this year is worth $25,584.19 per homestead, which at a millage of 12.8083 would save each Nanticoke Area homeowner $327.69 on their taxes.

The school board also enacted Thursday two per-capita taxes of $5 each, a 0.5% tax on earned incomes and profits, a 0.5% tax on real estate transfers, and a $5 local service tax on workers in Greater Nanticoke.

Helping to make this revenue go as far as it can, the school board took a separate vote Thursday to establish a pair of special-education classrooms at the Kennedy Early Childhood Center and a third such classroom at Nanticoke Area High School. Superintendent Ronald Grevera said the new classrooms would allow for students who are autistic or in emotional-support programs to stay in district, eliminating nearly $1 million in costs associated with finding those students an outside placement.

Nanticoke Area is not alone in trying to reduce special education…

Lenape Valley Launches 988 Suicide And Crisis Lifeline in Bucks Co.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — When Bucks County residents call 988 for mental health or substance use assistance, the voice on the other end of the line now will belong to trained professionals from Lenape Valley Foundation.

This month, Lenape Valley Foundation began operating the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in Bucks County. The nonprofit has hired eight crisis hotline specialists to staff the call center, which is based out of the organization’s crisis residential center, The Lodge, in Bristol.

“In the same way that 911 connects callers to physical health emergency services, 988 simplifies access to behavioral health emergency services,” said Dave Herold, chief executive officer of Lenape Valley Foundation. “This move will ensure that our neighbors in crisis can quickly reach trained professionals who provide inclusive, culturally responsive care and can connect them to the appropriate local support.”

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects to a national network of more than 200 local crisis centers that provide free, confidential support to people in emotional or behavioral distress. The service was mandated in the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, which Congress passed in 2020. In Pennsylvania, 988 became available on July 16, 2022.

The 988 service is available 24/7 through call, text, or chat. Each method offers a connection with trained behavioral health professionals who have years of experience counseling individuals and families, including veterans, Spanish speakers, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.

988 service aims to:

  • Provide immediate crisis intervention from trained mental health professionals.
  • Reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and law enforcement interactions for mental health crises.
  • Connect callers with appropriate follow-up care and community resources.
  • Offer an accessible alternative for those experiencing mental health emergencies.

“Adding 988 to LVF’s continuum of crisis care services will strengthen the resources available to residents across Bucks County, expanding access to timely and effective support in…

Baton Rouge, LA – Injuries Reported in Crash on Mohican St at N 38th St & Tunica St

Baton Rouge, LA (June 23, 2025) – A traffic crash involving injuries was reported late Monday morning in the 3700 block of Mohican Street near the intersection with N 38th Street and Tunica Street. The Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) responded to the scene shortly after 10:54 a.m.

Emergency crews provided medical assistance to at least one individual who sustained injuries in the crash. The extent of those injuries has not been confirmed, but responders remained on site to stabilize the scene and assist those involved. Traffic in the area was temporarily disrupted as officials worked to clear the roadway.

Authorities have not yet released details about the number of vehicles involved or the factors that led to the crash. An investigation is underway by BRPD to determine the cause and whether any citations will be issued.

We extend our thoughts to those injured and wish them a full and swift recovery.

Neighborhood Traffic Accidents in Baton Rouge

Streets like Mohican, N 38th, and Tunica in North Baton Rouge see a mix of local residential and commuter traffic. Intersections in these neighborhoods can be especially prone to collisions due to narrow roads, inconsistent signage, and unexpected cross-traffic. Even at lower speeds, crashes in residential areas often result in injury—particularly for pedestrians, cyclists, or passengers in smaller vehicles.

Monday’s crash is a reminder of the risks drivers face when navigating older, high-density neighborhoods. Quick stops, blind turns, and varied road conditions contribute to a greater likelihood of accidents. For those injured, recovery can be complicated by lack of access to immediate transportation, financial stress, or unclear legal options.

In these cases, understanding your rights and securing prompt support is essential. Medical care, insurance claims, and legal questions often arise quickly after the scene clears.

If you’ve been hurt in a traffic…
