Lecture "Mindscapes of an Indigenous People" by linguist and anthropologist Indrek Park

  • New York Estonian House 243 East 34th Street New York, NY (map)

Most Estonians take it for granted that they are “an indigenous people,” a definition that has a very different meaning in the eyes of international law. Do the people and their language somehow become less indigenous when their land becomes an independent country? A cross-cultural perspective helps to shed light on the indigenous traits that manifest themselves in the cultural and linguistic patterns still surviving in Estonia.
