The University of Alberta is pleased to present the fifth annual
Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute
(CILLDI) 2004. This program provides a unique opportunity to earn
university credit while learning about selected Canadian Indigenous
languages and cultures. Participants include undergraduate and graduate
students interested in learning an Indigenous language or gaining
expertise in the areas of linguistics, language and literacy,
curriculum development, second language teaching and research.

In addressing issues of Indigenous language loss in Canada CILLDI has
been expanding to include a wide range of courses based on needs
expressed in Indigenous communities.  As well as the courses listed
below we are planning several non-credit courses that would lead to
certification.  Information about these courses will be available at a
later date.
