In this thesis, I explore Yo'eme identity, culture, language, revitalization activities, andlanguage ideological impacts accomplished in the early stages of the ongoing Yo’eme Language
Projects. In section one, I provide background on Yo'eme communities, the language, and the
scholarship devoted to the defense and documentation of Yo'eme Language and Culture. In
section two, I look at the formation of the Yo'eme Language Project and the ongoing
development of a Yo'eme language dictionary including the need for it, its content, and intended
ideological impact. In section three, I examine the elaboration of a Yo'eme Language and Culture
Board Game, its content, purpose, ideological implications, and ongoing application both in and
outside of the classroom. In my conclusion, I discuss the importance of these two ongoing
projects as ideological contributions to language preservation efforts and Yo'eme cultural
sovereignty as well as further plans and developments for both these language revitalization
projects.
