Field trip to Texas

Tanya Bondarenko, Jacob Kodner (first-year graduate student) and Ava Silva (freshman, Harvard College) visited the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe in Texas earlier this month to discuss a language documentation and preservation project on the Alabama language. They were also featured on the tribe's podcast where they talked about their work. You can listen to them here.
