Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance

The Administration for Native Americans announces funds for new community-based
activities under its Native Language program to assist Native Americans in
assuring the survival and continuing vitality of their languages. Grants are
provided under the following four categories: 1) Native Language Assessment
grants to conduct the assessment needed to identify the current status of the
Native American language(s) to be addressed; 2) Native Language Project
Planning grants to plan a language project; and 3) Native Language Project
Implementation grants to implement a preservation language project that will
contribute to the achievement of the community's long-range language goals; and
4) Native Language Immersion Project grants for language nests or for language
survival schools. Applicants must provide a 20% non-federal match of the
approved project costs. Universities can participate only in partnership with a
tribe or local community nonprofit as the lead applicant.

DEADLINE: March 12, 2008
