The Lenápe are the Indigenous people of Pennsylvania. Their language has been on the verge of extinction, but Shelley DePaul is now focused on bringing it back.
Once she learned, she wrote a textbook on the Lenápe language.
"She was reconstructing it from scratch, basically. That's really rare," said Paul Garratt who was one of DePaul's first students. He also studies languages. "The Unami, which is the southern dialect, that's what I teach," said DePaul, who is now Clan Mother and Language Director of the Lenápe Nation of Pennsylvania.
One of the classes gathers at Swarthmore College. They don't attend for course credit but for something far more important.
