Presentation on preserving native languages Oct. 1 in Lincoln

From Nebraskans for Peace:

Don’t miss “The Seventh Generation,” a presentation by Barbara Salvatore, Thursday, October 1, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Join the Peace and Justice Team of Plymouth Church and the Nebraskans for Peace, Lincoln chapter, to hear speaker Barbara Salvatore. In 2011, Barbara followed her dream to move her family 1100 miles to Nebraska to study the Omaha and Ponca languages and to become a Ponca language educator. As an author, artist, poet, visionary, and storyteller she has worked to preserve the language and culture of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. This family friendly event will highlight the Native American cultures around us as we think together about how our actions today impact our world seven generations from now.

The event will be at Mayflower Hall, First Plymouth Congregational Church, 2000 D Street, in Lincoln.
