Ken Hale Prize to AILDI for 2010

[Susan Penfield]

Congratulations to the American Indian Language Development Institute
(AILDI), winner of the Ken Hale Prize for 2010 !

 This award was recently announced by SSILA. The Ken Hale prize is presented
in recognition of outstanding community
language work and a deep commitment to the documentation, maintenance,
promotion, and revitalization of indigenous languages in the Americas.
The Prize, which carries a $500 stipend, honors those who strive to link
the academic and community spheres in the spirit of Ken Hale. --

It seems particularly appropriate for AILDI to recieve this award as Ken
Hale was a frequent participant and devoted friend of AILDI. He was an
influential
teacher and mentor to a number of the AILDI faculty and his lasting
influence continues to inspire anyone working in indigenous language
documentation and revitalization.
