workshops have been hosted by the University of Kansas, the University of
Oregon and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Past participants have
gone on to great success in developing documentation and revitalization
projects, generating funding, and presenting results at major international

the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas, and the International Conference
on Language Documentation and Conservation.</span>
