<div>Dear Dene linguists and Dene friends,</div>


<div><br>


</div>


<div>It has now been 5 years since we had a Dene languages conference. Perhaps like many of you, I have been reluctant to ask about the next conference, for fear that people would then ask me to organize it myself :) But at this point I am willing to take that


 risk, since the Dene Languages Conference is something which has always been very important to our community.</div>


<div><br>


</div>


<div>First let's review where we left off. At the 2019 conference, we agreed that the next conference (in 2020) would be hosted by the Kenaitze Indian Tribe of Kenai, Alaska, and the following year (2021) would be hosted by a First Nation in Northern BC. I


 do not remember the name of the specific First Nation. Obviously, that didn't happen because of Covid 19. However, I think those two communities should have first dibs on whether or not they want to host the next conference. I contacted the Kenaitze Indian


 Tribe and they said they would not be ready to host a conference in 2025, but they might still be interested for 2026. So the question is: does that First Nation from Northern BC still want to host a 2025 conference? If there is anyone from that First Nation


 on this email list, please let us know if you are still interested. </div>


<div><br>


</div>


<div>If I do not hear back from anyone within about a month, I will look into organizing a conference in Yellowknife in June 2025. I can't promise anything yet, since I have to get permission and apply for funding, but I've made it happen before so I can probably


 do it again. So if we go down that road we can tentatively plan on a Yellowknife conference in June 2025 and a Kenai, Alaska conference in 2026.</div>


<div><br>


</div>


<div>Please feel free to share any thoughts to this list, and like I said, if there is anyone from Northern BC on this list that is still interested in hosting a conference please do let us know.</div>


<div><br>


</div>


<div>Mársı cho,</div>


<div><br>
