<p class="" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">“Native languages are a link to previous generations and will help preserve Native cultures for future generations,” Johnson said. “This bill will reauthorize one of the few federal funding opportunities available to tribes and tribal organizations to ensure that Native languages are not lost.”</p>
