Call for Proposals


Honoring Indigenous Traditions, Languages and Cultures

Voices of the Past Present and Future


Currently, Indigenous people around the world are facing challenges on several fronts. In the United States, the NCLB Act, the English-Only state legislation and the current proposed federal legislation declaring English as the national language, is creating an even greater need for educators to be innovative in their efforts to revitalize, preserve and protect Indigenous languages.

The Inhofe Amendment and the Immigration Reform Bill’s ramifications are far-reaching and could have serious implications for the future of Indigenous languages. How are educators addressing these and other policy issues so that the great strides that have been made by Indigenous people in preserving their traditions, languages and cultures are not hindered, but embraced as an educational advantage to academic success? As a multilingual and multicultural nation, how can we honor and preserve our traditions, languages and cultures with the voices of our ancestors, our elders of today and our leaders of tomorrow? Various models, programs, teaching methods, research strategies and best practices will be shared that demonstrate the challenges and successes in excellence and equity in education for Native students.
