An article in the Chicago Reader newspaper about people in the Chicago area who are reclaiming and reawakening Myaamiaataweenki, the Myaamia language. The interviews "share tales of Myaamiaataweenki-language Dungeons & Dragons games, old family appearances in silent films, the invention of a word for lemonade, long-forgotten swears, and what it means to speak words that others tried to take from them."
