Sing, Play, Write: Materializing Language Revitalization is an experiment that draws together revitalization material, archival documentation, and accessible approaches to language learning at different pedagogical levels for Inuktitut, an endangered Inuit Language. The project involves extensive engagement with local community organizations and stakeholders in the Arctic. This cultural instrument is designed to be easily accessible, reproducible and mass-manufacturable at low costs, and archival in nature. In the end, this project formulates a well-documented system for the creation of revitalization tools that can be replicated and used as open source information for Inuktitut as well as other endangered languages.
