Anton Treuer, professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, is the author of Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask and fourteen other books on Indigenous history and language.
"Treuer's arguments are passionate and motivating, especially for
language warriors engaged in the everyday struggles of language and
culture revitalization. His personal quest in learning Ojibwe as a
second language is inspiring, and he suggests solutions to the many
obstacles and problems language warriors continue to face. This
manifesto relates well to the language revitalization situation in
Hawaiʻi, as well as those of other native peoples I have met and
learned from."
Jason Iota Cabral, Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani (College of Hawaiian
Language), Ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi ma Hilo (University of
Hawaiʻi-Hilo) "With candor and humor, The Language Warrior's
Manifesto shares excellent tips for language reclamation work--and
the deeply personal story of Anton Treuer's journey in quest of the
most precious goal of language. The message is straightforward: the
quest requires diligence, commitment, and perseverance. This book
will help many who are on the Language Journey."
Inée Slaughter, Executive Director, Indigenous Language Institute,
Santa Fe, New Mexico "The Language Warrior's Manifesto is a love
story to indigenous language activism. In the days of much-needed
indigenous language revitalization, this is a great read for
inspiring, learning, and activating oneself."
Joseph Erb (Cherokee), Digital Storytelling Program, University of
Missouri
