Directed by Taylor, a Native filmmaker from Nevada, Can I Speak Paiute? is a hybrid documentary poem that resists easy categorization. Told entirely through a poem written and spoken by Taylor, the film explores the intertwined loss of the Paiute language, revealing how language, identity, and belonging live through family, memory, and community. Intimate and lyrical, the film blurs boundaries between personal reflection and cultural testimony and offers a powerful meditation on what it means to speak, to remember, and to return.
