SAIL

If you didn't know, the Symposium on American Indian Languages (SAIL) is taking place next week, April 2-3 at the ENR2 building on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Arizona. The Symposium on American Indian Languages is a collaboration between the Native American Languages and Linguistics (NAMA) Program, the American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI), and the Linguistics Department at the University of Arizona. It is a primarily student-led conference. SAIL brings together scholars, members of the Indigenous communities, native speakers, educators and language activists who are interested in sharing experiences and best practices on topics related to language documentation, conservation, reclamation vitalization. SAIL welcomes the active participation of Indigenous communities, Native language speakers, and those interested in reclamation, revitalization and preservation of their heritage languages and cultures.
