Interesting, Here in Idaho , Shoshoni and other languages are for all purposes extinct, no literature, no songs, not even a Bible as far as I know (Is there???) Here in USA, seems we only hear about ourselves, watch stories about ourselves even nostalgic shows about ourselves (That 70s show?) To get any news about the world watch CGTN (Bei Jing, I like President Xi Jing Ping better than any of our recent presidents) and EuroNews and even Russia Today if you want to keep up on the world. ...

Post Scriptus AmBible .org, Cherokee new testament and Genisis available, in alphbet devised by Cherokees before the trail of tears. Shoshoni Bible not started at all.

It would have been terribly interesting to know about the process of translation of any major work from the Western world into Shoshoni or other Native American languages: How can you take the ideas, effects, and even sounds from one world to a language that is used to represente a completely different universe?
Translating the Quixote into Quechua sounds like quite a feat alright, but at least there had been centuries of contact between the two cultures, which probably helped.

In Ecuador and Peru there are still schools and universities that have regular classes in Quechua language. We even use some words in our daily lives: "Te amo con el shungo" (I love you with my heart). "Cuidado con el guagua" (Be careful with the baby) are common phrases all around the highlands in Ecuador.
Excellent article. So proud of my roots!
