Francisco Molina introduces himself as the lead vocalist of an indigenous Mexican rock band by the name of ‘Hamac Caziim’.

He lives in Northwestern Mexico and belongs to the Seri culture.

At the time of this interview, he is located in Guadalajara, where his band is set to perform live at an indigenous music festival.

“What kind of language is your mother tongue?”

Francisco Molina answers that question saying that Seri is a very old indigenous language spoken in Northwestern Mexico.

Unlike other languages, Seri does not belong to a language family. It exists only in the communities where it is spoken.

According to linguists, it is a language isolate and quite unique in the world.

“What is a Seri ‘farewell’ in quotes chant that you think the world needs to hear?”

Francisco says that the following chant represents the beginning and the end of something.

He and his band perform it a capella at the beginning and at the end of each show.

Floyd Favel (Plains Cree from Poundmaker Cree Nation) is a theater artist, educator, knowledge keeper, and writer.

Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL), or Hand Talk, was a complex means of communication in North America.

PISL plays an important role in Favel’s research, as well as in the annual Poundmaker Indigenous Performance Festival directed by Favel.

“Floyd Favel clearly prides himself in his knowledge of the Cree language as his mother tongue and first language before English and indicates that the Plains Sign Language is his second language, also before English. He is going to tell us more about the Plains Sign Language and sign language in general, which has been around since the beginning of mankind.”

Excerpt from one of the most recent manuscripts of the ‘Universal Phrasebook Of Indigenous Languages’ (UPIL)

Hataałii is a Diné (Navajo) singer, songwriter, and poet born Hataałiinez Wheeler in Window Rock, AZ, the capital of the Navajo Nation.

His name comes from the Navajo term ‘hatałii’, also spelled ‘yataalii’, which means ‘singer’ in English. Singers are medicine men who perform traditional healing ceremonies and blessing rites intended to protect and cure the body, mind, and spirit.

Hataałii's music focuses on obscurantist details giving way to trenchant observations about paranoia, accountability, and postcolonial fallout. Hataałii also confronts the nuanced challenges and perceptions around the indigenous community.

He currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“Hello everyone.

I am Gabriela Salas Cabrera. I come from a village in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.

Right now, I’m in Madrid, Spain, where I’m taking classes in data science, artificial intelligence and natural language processing.

I also create models called ‘enlarged models’, with the goal to create a Chat GPT system in Náhuatl. So, these are my fields of interest.

And it’s a pleasure to be here.”

“What languages do you speak?”

“Well, Náhuatl is my first language.

And so is Spanish.

I also speak English, which is part of my current job, especially when it comes to technology.

I’m currently studying another indigenous language, Ñähñu, using artificial intelligence.

So, it’s my second indigenous language now.

And it’s also known as Otomi."
