Directory         1.     Andrea Berez , Native American Language Revitalization Campaign Message 1: Native American Language Revitalization Campaign Date: 28-Nov-2011 From: Andrea Berez <andrea.berezhawaii.edu> Subject: Native American Language Revitalization Campaign E-mail this message to a friend The LSA Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation (CELP) is initiating a letter-writing campaign to President Obama urging him to sign an executive order on Native American language revitalization. Last April the LSA passed a resolution urging President Obama to sign this executive order (http://www.lsadc.org/info/lsa-res- native-american.cfm). If signed by President Obama, agencies of the U.S. government would be directed to ensure that their policies, procedures, and functions support community-based language revitalization. For more information, please visit the CELP website: www.lsacelp.org. For instructions on how to become involved with the campaign, please visit www.lsacelp.org/take-action/.
