Are you indigenous? What makes a person indigenous? What does being
indigenous really mean?
Join Francesca, Clare and Kúnmi on a big discussion on what it means to be ‘indigenous’, the differences between indigenous and endangered languages, and the rate at which indigenous and endangered languages are disappearing. With flash interviews from linguists and SOASians, and a conversation with SOAS World Languages Institute director Mandana Seyfeddinipur, we disentangle the different meanings and contexts behind the heavily loaded term ‘indigenous’, and see what interesting and important information it can give us regarding the future of endangered languages.'
