This course is open to everyone – Indigenous and non-Indigenous adults who wish to learn to uplift language revitalization. This fun and engaging Skarù·ręʔ (Tuscarora) course introduces participants to pronouncing the language’s unique sounds, writing with the orthography (alphabet), and creating nouns and verbs from a variety of prefixes, root words, and suffixes – just like in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) and other related Haudenosaunee languages.

Learners will be encouraged to participate in class and complete weekly homework tasks so that by the end they may feel confident to introduce themselves, engage in dialogue, deliver the Thanksgiving Address, sing new songs, and share Skarù·ręʔ teachings with friends and family.

The colonial names of the geographic regions that this course would be most applicable for are Ontario, New York, and North Carolina.
