Teaching Indigenous Languages

This web site is an outgrowth of a series of annual conferences  
started in 1994 at Northern Arizona University focusing on the  
linguistic, educational, social, and political issues related to the  
survival of the endangered Indigenous languages of the world. The  
first two conferences were funded by the U.S. Department of  
Education's Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages  
Affairs (as of 2002 Office of English Language Acquisition) to help  
achieve the goals of the Native American Languages Act of 1990, which  
makes it government policy to promote, protect, and preserve the  
Indigenous languages of the United States. The Twelfth Annual  
Conference was held in Victoria, British Columbia, on June 2-5, 2005.  
The 2006 conference is scheduled for May 18-21, 2006, in Buffalo, New  
York. It is being hosted by Buffalo State College's School of  
Education and co-hosted by the Seneca Nation of Indians.
At the heart of this site are 97 full text papers from the 1997  
through 2003 Stabilizing Indigenous Languages conferences as well as  
the 2000 Learn in Beauty and 1989 Native American Language Issues  
conferences
