This interview, originally posted by MarkMolaro on November 25, 2007, features K. David Harrison. Harrison is an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, author of "When Languages Die: The Extinction of the World's Languages and the Erosion of Human Knowledge," and Director of Research at the Living Tongues Institute. He was also featured in "The Linguists" documentary.

For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling.

Recent technological advances, notably Project CETI, are enabling us to begin understanding animal communication, starting with sperm whales. This interdisciplinary initiative employs machine learning, robotics, and natural language processing to decipher nonhuman animal communication.

While these technologies offer significant promise for enhancing animal well-being and rights, they also present serious risks of manipulation and exploitation.

To address this, the NYU More-Than-Human Life (MOTH) Program and Project CETI are collaborating to establish ethical and legal guardrails. This conversation features David Gruber and César Rodríguez-Garavito, moderated by Teo Grossman of Bioneers.
