We Still Live Here - Âs Nutayuneân, a film recently presented as part of the PBS "Independent Lens" series, chronicles the efforts to revive the Wampanoag language, considered to be the the first time a language with no native speakers has been revived in the U.S.
The Wampanoags are from Southeastern Massachusetts. Their ancestors are the Native Americans who ensured the survival of the Pilgrims in New England.
