all have a variety of professional expertise in the areas of
indigenous language revitalization, education and policy, and Native
American culture.

The second lecture will feature Christine P. Sims, assistant professor
in the department of language, literacy and sociocultural studies at
the University of New Mexico. Sims specializes in indigenous language
revitalization and maintenance issues. Through the UNM College of

2002 President’s Award for research and advocacy on language rights
issues for Native American communities. She is a member of the Acoma
Pueblo and resides with her family on the Acoma Pueblo Indian
reservation in northwestern New Mexico.

Sims will speak on “Native Language Teacher Verification: Perspectives
from New Mexico.” Her presentation will focus on New Mexico’s
extensive experience in developing standards for Native language
verification.
