Maliseet-Passamaquoddy
Maliseet-Passamaquoddy is a Native American language spoken by the Maliseet and Passamaquoddy tribes in parts of Maine and New Brunswick. It belongs to the Algonquian language family and is known for its complex verb forms and rich oral traditions.
Efforts are ongoing to revitalize the language, as it faces challenges due to declining fluent speakers. Community programs and educational initiatives aim to teach younger generations the language, preserving the cultural heritage of the Maliseet and Passamaquoddy peoples.
