    Can a newly installed cellphone tower help preserve a language? Well,
    that's the hope of Cherokee Nationleaders in Oklahoma. Families can
    make reliable calls and send texts thanks to a nearly 360-foot-tall
    tower. Elizabeth Caldwell from member station KWGS reports on the
    significance of connectivity.

    ELIZABETH CALDWELL: It's lunchtime in Kenwood, Okla., a tiny community
    of about 1,000 people on the Cherokee Nation Reservation. It's pretty
    far off the beaten path. In the community center, two women are
    serving soup and sandwiches.
