Call for Papers for a Special Theme Issue of the Journal of American Indian
Education: Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Native American
Language Act 1990/1992

The editors of the Journal of American Indian Education invite
contributions to a Special
Theme Issue of the journal to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the
Native American
Languages Act (NALA) of 1990/1992. NALA, developed by grassroots Native language
activists and educators, established the federal government’s role in
preserving and protecting
Native American languages. The policy also established a grant program
which serves as
the primary federal resource for community and school-based Native
language revitalization
programs. NALA has also served as a foundation for more recent federal
and state levels
policies encouraging Native language education.

We seek papers that explore NALA-supported community-based and
school-based language
revitalization programs and NALA’s impact more generally on the Native language
revitalization movement locally, nationally and internationally. We
also welcome papers
that explore the antecedents of NALA and the Esther Martinez Native
American Languages
Preservation Act of 2006. What are the promising language practices
and programs that are
reversing Native language shift and supporting Native language
maintenance? How can we
build on federal policies like NALA and the Esther Martinez Native
American Languages
Preservation Act for greater support of Native languages? What has the
past twenty years
taught us about creating sustainable Native language revitalization
efforts? What are the on-
going challenges? Submissions may be theoretically and empirically
based or address more
general issues of policy, practice and program development and evaluation.

Submissions should be submitted no later than October 1, 2011. All
manuscripts will be peer-
reviewed. Submissions may be full length manuscripts (32 double-spaced
pages or 7500-8000
words in length) or follow the Reports from the Field format (20
double-spaced pages or 5000
words, including references). Manuscripts should be formatted in
Microsoft Word and blinded
for anonymous peer review. On separate pages, please provide a
150-word abstract, 50-word
author biographical statement, and author name(s), affiliation(s), and
contact information
(including email addresses). Please see the Contributor Information on
the inside back cover
of this issue for further guidelines. All manuscripts should be
submitted electronically to
jaie at asu.edu and Larisa.Warhol at asu.edu. Please contact JAIE Associate
Editor, Larisa
Warhol (Larisa.Warhol at asu.edu) with questions or inquiries.
