Film Description



“It’s something that’s sacred, really, the way we talk; it’s something the island is special for.”

One of Ocracoke’s greatest cultural resources is its unique dialect. In this video native islanders share their stories and explain many of their words and phrase in the traditional hoi toider accent.
