Indigenous Language Revitalization

Join the American Indian Resource Center for Indigenous Language Revitalization on April 7, 2026, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn. This presentation explores the history of land, language, and cultural loss, alongside current efforts in revitalization and everyday practice. We will share perspectives on language curriculum, cultural resurgence, and mechanisms sustaining this work. Featuring speakers Tracy Eastman and Dr. Sandhya Narayanan, the session will transition into a panel conversation on pre-colonial transcontinental trade, communication, and their relevance today.
