*Murkowski Speaks to National Indian Educational Association on Language
Education*

*By THEA CARD*

Last week US Senator Lisa Murkowski spoke in front of the National Indian
Educational Association.  In her speech, she pledged her support for native
language immersion programs.

Senator Murkowski has a history of supporting native language immersion
programs.  In June, Murkowski spoke in support of the Native American
Languages Reauthorization Act of 1974.  Both that bill and the Native
Language Immersion Student Achievement Act went in front of the Committee
on Indian Affairs in late July.  They are both under review.
