Scientific paper

This paper presents preliminary results of an investigation of collectively intelligent behavior in a Native North American speech community. The research reveals several independently initiated strategies organized around the collective problem of language endangerment. Specifically, speakers are engaging in self-organizing efforts to reverse historical language simplification that resulted from cultural trauma. These acts of collective intelligence serve to reduce entropy in speech community identity.
