<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Dear Friends of ILI,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">We are grateful for your support in making our 2010 achievements possible in a year with such great economic challenges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">With your help ILI has provided services to over 400 individuals and more than 45 tribes this year through our workshops, seminars and consultation work. Your contributions supported our Research and Development work to create new tools and methods to assist Native language learners and mentors, parents, grandparents, teachers and youth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">The <b>TRICKLE UP EFFECT</b>: The hundreds we reach directly reach hundreds more, as they go into classrooms and communities to affect those they serve. Your contribution is multiplied immediately through this “trickle up” effect that begins at the grassroots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">One of ILI’s interest is to motivate young people to use the heritage languages by creating projects such as the Youth Language Fair held at the Santa Fe Indian School (2000-2004) to make language creative, fun and relevant for our children and youth. That model is now successfully replicated in Oklahoma where for the past three years, they have had 3-day Language Fairs with over 1,000 participants each year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Your support makes a difference in ILI’s ability to research, teach and share successful models with Native communities. Our office is located at the Santa Fe Indian School, and we hear middle and high school students talking to each other in Tewa, Keres, Navajo! This was not a familiar scene a decade ago. The youth have indicated how eager they are to learn their languages. We are heartened by this turn of tides.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Our work is <b>URGENT.</b> While the young ones are showing increased interest, each year we are losing our Elder Speakers. Our children need to hear first hand the language spoken by our Elder Speakers, so that they can learn cultural practices, songs and stories expressed in the language.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Your generous contribution to ILI directly helps Native American nations and families to revive the endangered heritage languages Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone. Please join us in ensuring that the Ancient Voices live on.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"><b>October 2009 – September 2010</b></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">12-month project funded by ANA Language Grant to develop a learner-driven language study course based on the hypothesis that language acquisition relies on motivation in the learners. ILI partnered with Pueblo of Pojoaque and Santa Fe Preparatory School to test the lesson guide with five high school students (Marissa Naranjo, Jordan Naranjo, David Naranjo, Poqueen Rivera, Jeremy Montoya) and a mentor (Laura Jagles). We are seeking funding for the next phase of the project that is to analyze the data gathered from the R&D phase and develop a full SCAIL course packet for Levels 1 and 2.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">In 2010 ILI provided workshops on how to use computers and multimedia to produce print and audiovisual materials in the Native languages. The traveling regional workshops received support from IBM Corporation. This project addresses 1) the need for language communities to easily create books, signage, CDs, DVDs in their heritage languages to surround family and community in the language, and 2) empowerment of individuals to create what they need/want in their Native languages, such as grandpa’s stories, tribal traditional stories, family history, recipes, children’s stories, etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">ILI received a grant from the First Nations Development Institute to train 28 high school students of the Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) to create 3-minute digital stories. Five students from SFIS who created digital stories at ILI’s workshop entered their pieces in the Future Voices Film Project contest, and two students were selected as winners in the category of “Films in Heritage Language”. We hope to be able to continue this training for the SFIS students.</span></div>

Mr. Raward from Papua New Guinea said: “<i>I could not believe my own eyes that in three days I created a short film! You made it possible for me to produce the very first book in my language! This is a historic moment. Because of what I learned here, I know that our language will not die!</i>”</span></div>
