    Hilaria Cruz, a postdoctoral fellow at the Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth, worked with students to write books in indigenous languages.

Children’s books written in indigenous languages are featured in an exhibit at Dartmouth’s Baker-Berry Library this week to coincide with International Mother Language Day on Feb. 21. The eight books were created by six students in this term’s Language Revitalization course, which is offered jointly by Dartmouth’s Linguistics and Native American Studies programs.

Linguist Hilaria Cruz, a postdoctoral fellow at the Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth, teaches the course.
