U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) announced July 30 that the Native American
Languages Reauthorization Act (S. 2299) successfully passed out of the
Indian Affairs Committee and will now head to the Senate Floor.

“Native languages are a link to previous generations and will help preserve
Native cultures for future generations,” Johnson said. “This bill will
reauthorize one of the few federal funding opportunities available to
tribes and tribal organizations to ensure that Native languages are not
lost.”
