By Elizabeth Caldwell Can a newly installed cellphone tower help preserve a language? Well, that's the hope of Cherokee Nationleaders in Oklahoma. Families can make reliable calls and send texts thanks to a nearly 360-foot-tall tower. Elizabeth Caldwell from member station KWGS reports on the significance of connectivity. ELIZABETH CALDWELL: It's lunchtime in Kenwood, Okla., a tiny community of about 1,000 people on the Cherokee Nation Reservation. It's pretty far off the beaten path. In the community center, two women are serving soup and sandwiches. https://news.wjct.org/national-news/national-news/2023-03-27/can-a-newly-installed-cellphone-tower-help-preserve-a-language -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)
