This page is dedicated to resources and dialogues on language revitalization.
Dream it. Make it. Share it.
Join us for an all day session on content creation for teaching Indigenous languages. This workshop will show examples and give walkthroughs of creating and sharing dictionaries, workbooks, posters, videos, audio, and more. We will also discuss content organization and Indigenous empowerment in language movements that operate from a locus of
decolonization through safe learning environments. Featuring a presentation by the Sealaska Heritage Institute on historical and current language publications.
