<strong>Wednesday October 30th, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.<br>
</strong><em>American Indian Language Development Institute<br>
</em>Facilitators: Alyce Sadongei</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> The American Indian Language
Development Institute (AILDI) recognizes that language revitalization is
closely aligned with issues of sovereignty, colonialism, well-being,
and self-determination. This session will examine these and other issues
that affect language work in our communities but we often do not have
the time to discuss. Facilitated group discussions will encourage
honest, respectful engagement and there will be time for all groups to
share.</p>

</strong><em>Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival</em><br>
Facilitators: Leanne Hinton, Julian Lang, Nancy Steele, and Carly Tex</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> The Master-Apprentice Language Learning
Program (MAP), designed by the Advocates for Indigenous California
Language Survival, has been found to be one of the most successful ways
for adult learners to develop conversational proficiency in indigenous
languages. In this workshop we will present the basic principles of this
one-on-one method, illustrating with interactive exercises. We will
discuss how and why it can work well (and sometimes not), and how it
feeds into language revitalization efforts at school, in the community,
and in the home. We will also discuss how a community could set up their
own MAP program.</p>
<p><strong>BREATH OF LIFE: LEARNING INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES FROM DOCUMENTATION<br>
</strong>Register <a href="https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ewFptSaffkIG8TP">here </a>for this workshop<strong><br>
</strong><strong>Wednesday, October 30th, 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.<br>
</strong><em>Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival and the Miyaamia Center</em><br>
Facilitators: Quirina Geary, Leanne Hinton, Deborah Morillo, Kayla Begay, Daryl Baldwin</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> This will be an interactive workshop
about putting linguistic documentation to use for language learning and
revitalization. We will begin with a history and overview of the Breath
of Life workshops and institutes for indigenous languages without
speakers, in Berkeley, Washington D.C., and Oklahoma. The structure of
these institutes will be discussed for people interested in setting up
their own. We will go over how to find documentation, what you might
need to learn in order to understand and make use of it, how to organize
it, how to turn linguistic documentation into usable materials for
language learning, and how the use of documentation has inspired and
furthered the language journeys of individuals and communities. Breakout
sessions will go into more detail on participants’ choice of discussion
on finding materials, organizing and analyzing the materials, use for
language teaching and learning, setting up a Breath of Life workshop, or
other related topics.</p>
