For countless years, the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana has been working in tandem with students and faculty at Tulane University to revive the Tunica language. This language had been extinct since the passing of the last known speaker, Sesostrie Youchigant, in 1948. The Tunica Language Textbook (Rowinataworu Luhchi Yoroni) stands as a groundbreaking resource in the revitalization efforts. This comprehensive textbook offers a comprehensive approach to learning Tunica, encompassing vocabulary, grammatical information, practice exercises, and cultural insights. It includes links to an online pronunciation guide and incorporates excerpts from original documentation of Tunica stories and myths. Each chapter is carefully structured to guide students through the stages of learning, from introducing new information to recognizing, identifying, and applying it. While explanations are provided in English, the lessons are designed to be utilized in both immersion classroom settings and for individual study.
The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe's collaboration with Tulane University has been instrumental in bringing the Tunica language back to life. The Tunica Language Textbook is a testament to their dedication and commitment to preserving and revitalizing this unique language. This resource will undoubtedly serve as a valuable tool for students, researchers, and anyone interested in learning more about the Tunica culture and language.
