Kipeá (or Kiriri) is an extinct Karirian language or dialect of Brazil. A short grammatical treatise and a catechism were produced in 1698–1699 by the Italian Jesuit priest Luís Vincêncio Mamiani. It exhibits a verb–object–subject word order and an ergative–absolutive alignment, and is typologically analytic, using very few suffixes, which is unusual for the region it was historically spoken in. Modern-day descendents of the Kiriri people have used Kipeá, as well as in conjunction with its sister language/dialect Dzubukuá, as the basis for reviving their language.
Yabaâna (also Yabaána or Yabahana) is an extinct or dormant South American Indigenous language in Brazil, of the Arawakan (Maipurean) language family.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
