Regional Workshops
Our Regional Workshops are designed to bring together language advocates, educators, and community leaders from diverse tribal nations to collaborate, share, and grow in their efforts to revitalize Indigenous languages. These are Inter-Tribal Learning focused, creating a dynamic space for exchange, fostering mutual learning, and unity in addressing the shared challenges of language preservation. Key features include cross-tribal collaboration, relevant topics, and resource and strategy sharing. Hosted in accessible and inclusive locations across the United States, these workshops emphasize the power of unity and collective wisdom in the language revitalization journey. Participants leave with enriched perspectives, practical tools, and a strengthened network of inter-tribal allies working toward a shared vision.
