Saving Kishtal

By Justine Warunek-Lane

Nayo is a thirteen-year-old girl living on a reservation in the Southwestern desert. She has never felt much of a connection to her heritage as a Kishtali Indian, but all that changes when she finds out her grandfather is the last living speaker of their native language, Kishtal. With the help of a linguist, Nayo pulls her community together to save the endangered Kishtal language before it's too late. Along the way, she discovers just how much her language and her community play in her own identity.
