When Jessie Little Doe Baird was growing up on Cape Cod in the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, she didn’t have a relationship with her native language.



Now, she reteaches her language to her community and family through the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project, which she co-founded.



Today on The Common, we hear Darryl C. Murphy's conversation with Baird on Radio Boston from earlier this fall.
