Institute

[Andre Cramblit]

The Indigenous Language Institute (ILI) recognizes the imminent loss of  
indigenous peoples' languages and acknowledges the individuality of  
indigenous communities. ILI facilitates innovative, successful  
community-based initiatives for language revitalization through  
collaboration with other appropriate groups and organizations, and  
promotes public awareness of this crisis.
ILI was founded as the Institute for the Preservation of the Original  
Languages of the Americas (IPOLA) by Joanna Hess in September 1992 in  
Santa Fe, New Mexico. ILI has a Board of Directors whose members are  
majority Native American. The Board's experiences in language work at  
various levels steer the program direction. A multidisciplinary corps  
of Advisors are called upon to assist the Board of Directors and staff  
in programmatic, administrative and fiscal matters.
