The loss of a grandmother to Covid, compounded with loss of access to her voice is devastating. Exploitation. The colonial take gene sadly dominates. I hope a lawyer listening to your podcast can assist with legal restrictions and repercussions for linguists who seize your language for selfish...Read full review »

I have learned so much from X̱ʼunei and guests to the show. I hope this show continues - it is so important for everyone to learn about decolonization from those who are doing the great work to save their languages and culture.

The Tongue Unbroken, hosted by X̱ʼunei Lance Twitchell is the best podcast series I’ve listened to for a long time. It was so absorbing I’d often forget where I was while listening (don’t worry, I wasn’t driving). It’s nourishing, truthful, hopeful, encouraging, inspiring, inclusive and...Read full review »

The information this podcast provides of all of the work that goes into restoring language after genocide is nothing short of awe inspiring. Many of the episodes have brought me to tears all over the emotional spectrum. From happiness to anger and all between. I’ve lived in Oklahoma my whole life...Read full review »

Tongue Unbroken provides important information and aspects of the effects of colonialization on people today. It also gives hope for the future and ways we can work together. Such a rich podcast and I hope it continues. My heart expands. ♥️

I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast the last several weeks. Hearing how other people are revitalizing and learning their languages inspires me to keep going. So many great ideas. I have already taken note from an episode and started replacing the sayings I know in Cree with what I...Read full review »

I’m glad this podcast exists. I’ve been spending a lot of time the past few years learning about the consequences of colonialism (amongst other things). I’ve also been unlearning bad habits that were baked into my upbringing by simply being a white guy from the mid-west. I can already tell this...Read full review »

This podcast was advertised to me while I was listening to another podcast which speaks a lot about the unspeakable harms of colonization. I love hearing about language and culture too and believe it is really important to preserve, most especially for indigenous and minority peoples everywhere....Read full review »

This is hopeful and upbeat even when considering the difficult truths about language and history. Great mix of cultural explanations, personal insight and language.

Incredibly moving right from the jump. What stories did our ancestors tell before they had to learn English? What stories and knowledge about the places we live are embedded in the local, indigenous language? Why aren’t street signs at least bilingual in every English speaking country outside of...Read full review »

I am hooked. I clung to every sentence spoken in this podcast that spoke the true words of my heart. These words are words all of our Indigenous Peoples need to hear today, right now. Quyana, Xh’unei, for your honest, powerful, inspiring, and loving message. Must listen!

The dedication and integrity Xh’unéi brings to his work is absolutely astounding. It’s clear that he is bringing all of himself into this podcast, and shared more honesty and realness in one podcast episode than many people would show in a lifetime. Gunalchéesh hó hó.

It’s insightful.

I love the fierce integrity of the work. Even the trailer is scholarly and audacious.
