Preserving voices, celebrating cultures

At CHAKCHAK: Languages and Cultures Foundation, we are dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of underrepresented and under-resourced ethnic minority and Indigenous communities of the Russian Federation.

We believe these communities hold invaluable traditions, stories, and knowledge that deserve to be celebrated and shared. Our mission is threefold:

  • Preservation & Promotion
    Safeguard endangered languages and cultural practices, ensuring they remain vibrant for generations to come.

  • Education & Awareness
    Foster greater appreciation for the history, literature, arts, and scholarship of these communities in the United States through educational resources, publications, and cultural events.

  • Community & Advocacy
    Encourage cooperation, communication, and interaction among minority communities while advocating for their aspirations and interests on a broader stage.
