How do you keep alive an endangered language? By singing it loud and proud!

Through catchy songs and fun storytelling, Cherokee tribal member and award-winning Z Puppets' performer Chris Griffith leads an adventure into language reclamation.

Sing along and you, too, will learn how to count to three, make the basic sounds, say hello and thank you in Cherokee! 

Recommended for ages 3 and up.
