Twelve indigenous representatives from Chile, Peru, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Paraguay and Bolivia will convene for five days at the Santiago Library, where they will share their experiences as cultural minorities and learn techniques for capturing their culture’s oral history and spoken language. The twelve workshop participants received recording kits on Monday to use throughout the workshop and are expected to continue capturing their culture when they return to their respective communities.<br>
<br></div>Dr. Gregory Anderson, a linguist with National Geographic, will help facilitate the workshop. He said the importance of preserving these languages is multifold. One reason to preserve these languages is to capture information that would otherwise be lost forever.</div>
