Tlingit
Similar to other Indigenous languages in North America, Tlingit is critically endangered. Less than 100 fluent Elders continue to exist. From 2013 to 2014, the language activist, author, and teacher, Sʔímlaʔxw Michele K. Johnson from the Syilx Nation, attempted to teach two hopeful learners of Tlingit in the Yukon. Her methods included textbook creation, sequenced immersion curriculum, and film assessment. The aim was to assist in the creation of adult speakers that are of parent-age, so that they too can begin teaching the language.

Another technique of language revitalization within the Tlingit First Nation is employed by Christine Schreyer, Jon Corbett, Nicole Gordon, and Colleen Larson. Their research focuses on the development of an online mapping resource, which provides many of the Tlingit place names throughout their territory. The online tool heightens the accessibility of factual information, and ideals surrounding Tlingit stewardship.
