    I grew up right next to a reservation, and my biggest regret is not taking the tribe up on frequent offers to learn their language (one of the languages listed on his shirt). They had free classes and everything. Maybe it’s time to give it a go.

      Here in Canada our town is connected to a very successful reservation. Over the years communities have been more and more involved in community events together. People are always welcome to join in on pow wows and every child matters events. It’s finally starting to feel like our First Nations are starting to get the attention to the wrongs of history that they desperately deserve. It’s still not nearly where it needs to be, but the ball is rolling and it won’t stop now. I’m so proud to finally feel like their culture won’t be lost to history.

    Funny because “American” isn’t even a language.

    381 seems like a low estimate to me. California alone had over 50 different languages.

      There were probably a lot of overlapping in other states. They split the country up along different lines than us.

    The most ironic thing about the “speak English” sentiment, is that it is literally the language of the oppressors we threw off to become the nation we are now.

    If America was a person… It would either be Trump, Elon musk, or Al Capone.

      That’s unfair, it might be Richard Milhous Nixon or Charles Manson.
