📘 What does it mean to write a grammar entirely in an Indigenous language—for use in Indigenous schools—and publish it as a scientific article?

A new publication in Cadernos de Linguística does exactly that. The article presents the methodological foundations of a school grammar written fully in Wai Wai, a Brazilian Indigenous language that is still used daily in homes, classrooms, and community gatherings.

The work stands out not only for its pedagogical value, but also for its political importance: it’s authored by Indigenous teachers and offers a model of how grammar teaching can be community-led, culturally grounded, and linguistically sovereign.

As noted by linguist Ana Suelly Arruda Câmara Cabral, this is pioneering work—one that should inspire other educators and researchers working with languages that are still alive and central to everyday life.

Loved listening to, learning from and being inspired by Garry Oker’s creative and experiential approach to #IndigenousEducation, thanks to his #IndigenomicsNow talk on 'Reimagining the Future'. I will be exploring his work further at https://www.garryoker.com/

A question posed from Garry's talk, "How do you see digital heritage tools, like interactive exhibits, impacting the preservation of Indigenous languages and traditions?"
