I learn a little Greenlandic sometimes and I want to study it more in depth in the future.

You can reply if a native american language is your native language as well

    Know a few words in Nahuatl thanks to grandma, she was Mixtec though, but was really guarded about her indigenous culture and language since she was taught to feel shame about it. Never actively learned more about it. I do find it interesting local indigenous language (live near a reservation but don’t want to dox myself) word for water is somewhat similar sounding to the Nahuatl word for fisher.

      Resources for Mixteco (Tu’un Savi) language learning are gradually increasing. I don’t know how you feel about learning more about it given what you shared about your grandma, but it seems like more and more people are working on creating resources to teach and learn the language and to uplift it from the stigma that has been placed on it as a so-called “dialect” for so long. Here is one site about it if you are interested.
