[对应学生用书P350] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·石家庄检测)At just 19 years old, Akiša Peters teaches at a college. He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people. “The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture. Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist，” Peters claimed. “I was lucky to grow up around many first­language Dakota speakers. But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at­length and consistent exposure to the language.” Aside from giving instruction at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that integrate humor, culture, and basic­level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of the youth to converse and share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space. Akiša Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them. Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning. Standards created by non­speakers could also do that. “Within the next decade, I assume, I, my colleagues, and other Dakota­learning relatives will have children and start a new generation of Dakota. I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota. On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language. I'm hopeful because I'm definitely not alone，” Akiša Peters told Teen Vogue.
