Must There Be Two Solitudes? Language Activists and Linguists Working Together [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper suggests that there can be two solitudes that divide linguists and language activists and argues that there needs to be a mutual recognition that linguists and Indigenous communities need to work together to help revitalize Indigenous languages. It takes a community of people to revitalize an Indigenous language, and in order for linguists and language activists to truly work together, general principles such as relationships, respect, reciprocity and recognition are critical.
