Carol Dana was appointed the language master of the Cultural and Historic Preservation Department<\/a> for the Penobscot Nation in 2002. This came after decades of her study and preservation efforts of the Penobscot language, which began in 1982 when she served as a research assistant to Dr. Frank T. Siebert, who created a written system and published a dictionary of the Penobscot language, which, at this point had been almost entirely destroyed by the impact of government-run residential schools. Ms. Dana\u2019s work on the Penobscot Dictionary was the start of a decades-long mission to preserve and share the Penobscot language as a living language. Ms. Dana also collected and edited stories of Gluskabe, the legendary trickster, and published them as \u201cStill They Remember Me\u201d: Penobscot Transformer Tales, Volume 1<\/a><\/em> in Penobscot and English, with art from the tribal community. Ms. Dana and her extraordinary work were recently featured in a New Yorker<\/em> article<\/a> about the colonization of languages. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
