The film portrays an extraordinary struggle for cultural survival and Indigenous language recovery among the Wampanoag Nation of southeastern Massachusetts.  Starring members of a 15-year-old tribal language program who relied entirely on volunteer efforts for more than a decade, the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project provides a unique and hopeful model for Native communities across America striving to protect tribal sovereignty and rebuild healthy communities by revitalizing languages and cultural practices long outlawed by government policies. Watch the trailer.

A portion of the proceeds from the film will benefit Cultural Survival's Endangered Languages Program.  The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project is a partner and advisor to Cultural Survival.  To order a copy of the film visit Makepeace Productions online.
