Indigenous Languages Revitalization
Online Resources
The aim of the Indigenous Languages Revitalization- Online Resources is to highlight different communities, groups, organizations and individuals who are doing work with languages. Each community, organization, group and individual had an opportunity to highlight their work towards revitalization and preservation with a focus on process.
The goal is to inspire others to learn how to implement some of the programs and ways to work with languages.
Each community, group, organization and individual were asked to:
- Share what they are doing.
- Share their language program(s)/learning priorities.
- Share some of the gaps they might have experienced in implementing their language program(s)/learning.
-
Identify some potential resources to help bridge that gap.
