Application Deadline: March 1, 2011 Sponsors: Endangered Language Fund National Anthropological Archives National Museum of the American Indian Library of Congress Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival A two-week institute, funded by the Documenting Endangered Languages program, will be held in Washington, D.C. this coming June. At this hands-on set of workshops, teams of participants (Native American/First Nations heritage language learners, teachers and activists) paired with mentors (experts in linguistics who help guide the participants' work) will explore the language resources in archives in the District of Columbia area, particularly the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Anthropological Archive. Morning workshops on linguistics, archival research and language revitalization will be held at the National Museum of the American Indian. Visits to the archives will be supplemented by lectures and workshops on linguistics, language teaching and learning, and related topics. Participants and mentors will be staying in the dorms at George Washington University, where they can network and study together in the evenings. The institute will pay for participants’ rooms and provide breakfasts and lunches (dinner is on your own), and will pay for transportation to and from Washington, D.C. (capped at $600). A registration fee of $500 is requested for the two-week institute. Mentors will not be charged a fee. We will be accepting 40 participants and 20 or so mentors for this institute. This is a great opportunity to find and learn how to utilize archival materials as part of the reclamation, learning and teaching of indigenous heritage languages, in the company of other like-minded people.
