After viewing the documentary Transitions: the destruction of a Mother Tongue, with the information from the film and the terms from the “Variables affecting ethnolinguistic vitality” chart, reconstruct the historical process of decline of the Blackfoot language and what you suggest can be done to revitalize the language if there is way. Write in essay format, not in Q&A format.
Basically, the essay should entail three aspects:
1) who are the Blackfoot people? (No need to do extra research, just information from the documentary)
2) From the information in the documentary (the historical accounts and the interviews), what led to today’s situation of the Blackfoot language? Give me specifics. Choose some useful terms from this chart and analyze. Just as a start, what was the status of the language
for the people before the European contact? What was the status after and now? What happened to the population? What kind of
institutions were there to destroy the people and language?
3) What are the institutions there now that might be help to restore it? If you were an linguistic anthropologist, what would do you
suggest the U.S. government and Blackfoot Nation do?
