12: Bringing “How to Train Your Dragon” to the Rez
In this new episode of Siyo from the Rez, meet Ethan Winn and Hondo Kirk, two friends who grew up together, graduated from our Cherokee Immersion School and are now the voices of Snotlout and Hiccup in the Cherokee version of “How to Train Your Dragon”!
Ethan and Hondo talk about their incredible full-circle journey — from learning the Cherokee language as students to working at our Durbin Feeling Language Center and voicing these iconic animated characters.
Discover the story behind this amazing opportunity to work with DreamWorks Animation, the unique challenges of translating the world of dragons into tsalagi, and what this project will mean to the next generation of Cherokee language learners.
