JUNEAU, Alaska — Gov. Sean Parnell has signed legislation that will impact
rural Alaska.

He said the state will join with Alaskans to make sure that Native
languages live on.

One of the three bills he signed in Dillingham on Sunday would establish
Alaska Native Language and Advisory Council. The council would be charged
with evaluating the state's indigenous languages and making recommendations
for preservation, restoration and revitalization.
