Desc: The Young Ancestors: Directed by Aimee Barry Broustra. The Young Ancestors follows a group of students, who along with their mentor, learn their native Tewa because they are committed to revitalizing their language and keeping their culture alive. In a broader context, it is the story of the burgeoning movement led by Native Americans to revitalize their native languages. The Young Ancestors explores the historical reasons behind Native American language loss and uncovers the ways in which speaking one's native language heals on both individual and communal levels.
