""Mneesha Gellman validates ancient Yurok ways of knowing as well as their extensive revitalization efforts while addressing the need for professionals to listen seriously.""-- ""Kishan Lara-Cooper, California Polytechnic Institute, Humboldt"" ""Learning to Survive should be required reading for everyone interested in Indigenous language reclamation and cultural resilience. I know nothing like it. In turns joyous, painful, thoughtful, and inspiring, Mneesha Gellman's moving book shows how language and culture work led by Indigenous teachers and activists can help heal the wounds of colonization.""-- ""Andrew Garrett, University of California, Berkeley"" ""I have always known that learning our language has made a huge difference in my life and guided me through some of hardest times I've ever experienced. Reading this book helps me understand why. Learning to Survive has given me a new appreciation for the hard work and vision of those who have dedicated their lives to giving the next generation a powerful tool to help bring balance and renewal to our world.""-- ""Frankie Myers, former Vice Chairman, Yurok Tribe""
