Teaching Indigenous Languages (resource)
jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/TIL.html
This web site is an outgrowth of a series of annual conferences started
in 1994 at Northern Arizona University focusing on the linguistic,
educational, social, and political issues related to the survival of the
endangered Indigenous languages of the world. The first two conferences
were funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Bilingual
Education and Minority Languages Affairs (as of 2002 Office of English
Language Acquisition) to help achieve the goals of the Native American
Languages Act of 1990, which makes it government policy to promote,
protect, and preserve the Indigenous languages of the United States. The
Twelfth Annual Conference was held in Victoria, British Columbia, on
June 2-5, 2005. The 2006 conference is scheduled for May 18-21, 2006, in
Buffalo, New York. It is being hosted by Buffalo State College's School
of Education and co-hosted by the Seneca Nation of Indians.
At the heart of this site are 97 full text papers from the 1997 through
2003 Stabilizing Indigenous Languages conferences as well as the 2000
Learn in Beauty and 1989 Native American Language Issues conferences
