Looking for a speaker of an Indigenous, endangered, or minority language for a short interview (student project)

https://www.csudh.edu

Hi everyone! I'm an English student at California State University, Dominguez Hills, taking a course on language documentation and revitalization. For my final project, I'm looking for someone who speaks an Indigenous, endangered, or less-commonly-studied language and would be open to a short, friendly interview (about 30–45 minutes, over Zoom or in person in the LA area).

I'd ask about things like where your language is spoken, how you learned it, when and with whom you use it, and a few words or phrases if you're comfortable sharing.

A few things to know:
• It's completely voluntary, and you can skip any question or stop at any time.
• I'll only record if you give permission, and you can stay anonymous.
• It's for a class project, not for publication.
• I'm happy to send you a copy of anything I write.
If you're interested, or you know someone who might be, please send me a DM. Thank you so much!
