How one woman is working to keep the Wampanoag language alive in Mass.

When Jessie Little Doe Baird was growing up on Cape Cod in the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, she didn’t have a relationship with her native language.

Now, she reteaches her language to her community and family through the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project, which she co-founded.

Today on The Common, we hear Darryl C. Murphy's conversation with Baird on Radio Boston from earlier this fall.
