Daryl Baldwin, an Indigenous linguist and a revitalist for his own Myaamia language (Miami language[2]). Daryl is from the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.[3] Baldwin has also been a member of the cultural resource advisory committee of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.[4] Baldwin received a B.S in 1996 and a M.A in 1999 from The University of Montana with a Masters in Arts with emphasis in Native American linguistics[5] and is now the Director of the Myaamia Center at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, which works to revitalize endangered languages. His devotion to the work of language revitalization led to the creation of the Myaamia Center at Miami University and his appointment as the Director and was chosen in 2016 as a MacArthur Foundation Fellow.[6] Baldwin seeks to revitalize languages for the people of the community, language and cultural revitalization.

After reading a draft of David Costa's thesis on the Miami-Illinois language, Baldwin realized he would need training in linguistics to not only understand Costa's work, but also work to revitalize his own language and be able to teach it to others. The realization led Baldwin to apply for a graduate degree at the University of Montana.[7] Since 1996, Baldwin began to teach himself and his family and four children the Miami Language.[citation needed][8][9] Baldwin also learned through studies held by the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives, and he has since continued to work with Myaamia people developing culture and language-based educational materials and programs for the community.[10] Baldwin has taught and raised his four children as native speakers of Myaamia and continues to teach others as assistant educational leadership professor.[11][12][13]

Much of Baldwin's work has been collaborative, contributing to edited collections and journal articles, and he also works with other linguists such as Leanne Hinton's National Breath of Life project, a two-week biennial gathering of linguists sharing, finding and utilizing linguistic archival sources.[14]
