 *2009 NIEA CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE*

A special greeting to those we met at the NIEA Convention and Language
Summit in Milwaukee in October! We want to share some highlights of
Indigenous Language Institute’s participation in this great gathering.

NIEA and ILI signed the Memorandum of Agreement to formalize our
partnership. Patricia Whitefoot, incoming President of NIEA and Jerry Hill,
President of ILI signed the Agreement at the Partnership Luncheon on October

revitalize our Native languages.

  *IBM Collaboration*

IBM has been our partner since 2001 and between 2003-2008 has sponsored 7
Regional Technology Workshops that traveled to five different states
training over 300 individuals how to use computers to create print and
digital materials in the Native languages.

This year IBM hosted ILI at their NIEA trade show booth as it has done in
past years. We had so many visitors stop by the booth. Among them were Maria
Hinton (Oneida, ILI Honoree 2002) and her grandson Ernie Stevens, Jr
(Chairman of National Indian Gaming Association), Gerald Danforth (former
Tribal Chair of Oneida Wisconsin), both long time supporters of ILI’s
mission and work. To those who signed up for follow-up, we will be
contacting you! Thank you to Kerry Langford of IBM (also ILI’s Technical
Advisory Committee member) for manning the booth at all times!

and Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival (AICLS). The other
partners who were not present at NIEA are: The Piegan Institute and Oklahoma
Native Language Association (ONLA). ILI’s Board President, Jerry Hill,
facilitated the session. Kerry Langford of IBM presented on their role in
supporting ILI’s language work. ILI’s Rachael Nez and Chris Harvey shared
