Haida Indian Language

Haida is an Alaskan language whose origin is uncertain. Many linguists have considered it to be an Athabaskan language, but others consider it an isolate (a language unrelated to any other language). Fewer than a hundred elders speak the Haida Indian language fluently today, but some young Haida people are working to keep their ancestral language alive.
