Language Training

[Andre Cramblit]

Mark your calendars!

  The local Native Language Summit will be held on June 28th from 10 am  
to 6:00 pm (dinner included - hope for salmon!) and continuing on June  
29th from 9 am to 5 pm.

The Summit will take place in the Hupa Language Room located in the new  
cafeteria at Hoopa Elementary School - just past the highschool on  
Highway 96.


PLEASE PASS THE WORD!


The agenda will include:

  • Tribal panels to showcase what each of the three local tribes  
(Hoopa, Karuk and Yurok) are doing in language restoration/preservation  
work
  • Elder Voices - to answer the question "How is the thinking process  
different between Indian language and English?
  • A showcase of successful language lessons and games to play in  
language classes
  • A Language teacher's panel to discuss what are their challenges and  
their recommendations to help them in their efforts to teach the  
languages
  • Tribal specific language meetings
  • High school language students' voices - why is language important to  
them, what is helping them the most to learn the language, how can the  
school district or the tribes help to better support their language  
learning?
  • A discussion on tribal certification of language teachers
  • And a chance to develop a common vision for improving opportunities  
to learn language and to take language learning to a new level

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
