The University of Arizona and Department of Language, Reading and
Culture invite you to the 28th American Indian Language Development
Institute (AILDI).

AILDI 2007 will focus on a range of critical topics, including,
grant-writing for Indigenous populations, advanced methods for
language immersion teaching for endangered languages and skills in
documenting Indigenous languages for the purpose of language
revitalization.

In addition the 2007 AILDI is collaborating with the UA Poetry Center
in hosting a symposium: Native Voices with support from the National
Endowment for the Arts. AILDI will have a special focus on Native
poets, poetry readings, and writing.

Our theme, Weaving Indigenous Voices: Telling our Stories reflects
this emphasis and will be highlighted with guest speakers, panels,
projects and films.
