A book that charts how endangered languages are preserved in the modern world has won this year’s British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding.

The annual Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding, created by the British Academy in 2013, has awarded American writer Ross Perlin the £25,000 (€30,100) prize for his non-fiction work ‘Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues’.

‘Language City’ charts the history of migration into New York via the languages of different cultures entering the area, overwhelming the indigenous Lenape speakers. He then traces that history through to the present with six case studies of endangered language speakers in New York.

Throughout the book, Perlin examines how endangered languages survive through the resilience of their cultural communities, how their unique grammar and syntaxes work, and what we can learn about diverse cultures through studying these languages.

“New York City is home to more than 700 languages – ‘the most linguistically diverse city in the history of the world’ – and by examining them Perlin opens out new ways of thinking about the exuberant variety of these aspects of the urban soundscape, which we might otherwise take for granted or ignore,” Professor Charles Tripp FBA, one of the judges commented.

“Perlin’s research is dynamic and immediate; it is about what is happening now, right in front of us, as we witness the flux of everyday life. It was a real pleasure for the judges to read, even if our reading was tinged with concern for the subjects of these entrancing narratives,” Tripp added.

Professor Julia Black, President of the British Academy commented on the status of the academy’s book prize in celebrating “exceptional research” and non-fiction works that highlight…

The beating of drums and the singing of rain bringers sounds off the Indigenous People’s Day festivities each year at bartram’s garden. 

The festivities have taken place at Bartrams Garden for fourteen years, the last seven of them have been co-sponsored by Ollin Yoliztil Calmecac, a non-profit ran by Brujo De La Manche, it’s purpose is promote Indigenous Culture throughout the Americas.  

Working together with the park, Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac wants to bring authentic indigenous cultural practices into the spotlight from dancing to food.

Maria Jose Morales Garcia, a volunteer at the festival says that “Corn is very essential in a creation story for a lot of cultural folks in the Americas. So it’s essential that we don’t forget how to make those foods.”

Celebrations on Sunday included various activities from guest speakers, arts & crafts, cultural dances and food as well.

While the festival is loved by many, members of the Lenni Lenape tribe are left wanting more from city leaders. 

Meredith Sanders, a member of the New Jersey Lenni Lenape tribe says”I would love to see the city have more involvement with our tribe. You know, I’m sick of going to Lenape events and being honored and not seeing any Lenape people actually there.”

De La Manche says the festival’s goal is to encourage indigenous involvement he hopes the festival will increase awareness of indigenous history in the city. 

“Our people have been here for centuries, you know thats the reason of the celebration to remind them and however ways somehow, we will keep going.”

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Hundreds of people from across the United States and abroad are in the city to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day at a very significant location.

Penn Treaty Park, on the banks of the Delaware River in Fishtown, is where founder of the commonwealth William Penn signed a treaty of peace with the local Lenape tribe in 1683, according to legend. Now, it is known as a place of peace and plays host to an annual celebration of North and South American native cultures.

“The festival consists of shows and stories and teachings of native life and native history,” says Janis Stacy who is with IPD Philly and is one of the event’s organizers.

They welcome natives from Canada to Chile on this day, for the purpose of “countering the idea of Columbus — which came in and started a massive genocide against our people,” Stacy said.

“When we get together, it’s family from all the tribes, from all the nations. All the council fires come together, and we start sharing stories and such.”

Indigenous Peoples Day has been celebrated in this way in Philadelphia since 2017. Philadelphia replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day as an official city holiday in 2021.

Eugene Black Crow, a Lakota raised on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, was one of the many people who came to celebrate.

“They come and perform, they dance, they sell their wares. I, myself, do bead work and medicine pouches,” said Black Crow.

Black Crow, who is dedicated to preserving the Lakota language and culture, has attended the celebration since 2018.

“I just like sitting here enjoying the people you know. We have people from South America, Central America and North America. We’re all native Americans.”

Stacy, who is of Dakota and Cherokee…

Galloway, N.J.  – Stockton University marked its fourth year celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a counter-holiday that centers on the history, culture and continued experiences of the Indigenous people who stewarded this land before it became recognized as the United States of America on Monday.

It also marks the culmination of two years of work by Ryann Casey ‘01, the exhibition coordinator for the Stockton Art Gallery, and her team, which gathered and organized the works of 25 local and international Indigenous artists for the “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” exhibition and its related celebrations and programming hosted by the School of Arts & Humanities. 

A closing reception for “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the Upper Floor of the Art Gallery from 6-8 p.m. 

“This exhibition highlights what I, as an alumna, consider to be core attributes of Stockton University, which are honoring land, identity and sustainability,” Casey said. “At the end of the day, I hope that this exhibit provides us with a foundation to learning more about the Indigenous experience.”

The daylong celebration began with a recognition of place and poem by Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto of the Nanticoke/Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation and welcome remarks by Stockton President Joe Bertolino.
