 Dear RNLDers,

The Linguistic Society of America has passed a
resolution<http://www.lsadc.org/info/lsa-res-native-american.cfm>urging
President Obama to sign the Executive Order on Native American
Language Revitalization and to ensure the implementation of the policies and
procedures in that order.

The resolution also "urges the United States government to take immediate
executive and legislative actions to ensure continued funding of the NSF/NEH
Documenting Endangered Languages Program, the language-related programs
supported by the Administration for Native Americans, and other federal
programs that support the efforts of Native American communities to preserve
and revitalize their languages and to transmit them to future generations".

The Draft Executive Order on Native American languages (drafted by the
National Indian Education Association’s White House Native Languages Working
Group) can be downloaded from the LSA resolution page linked above.

kind regards,
