Native American Languages Could Count For Class Credit (fwd link)

[Marnie Atkins]

He'ba'lo' Mary and All,

I'm so glad to see all the great work everyone has done to get Indigenous
languages recognized as meeting language requirements for students!

I'd be glad to collect the information and email it out to the listserv.
 I'll be in touch soon!

Čawokš,
Marnie
