Mission Statement
The goals of the Native American Language Center are to encourage linguistic research on Native American languages, to foster the intergenerational transfer of language knowledge in Native American communities, and to develop a sustained and productive relationship between Native American linguistic scholarship and the needs and aspirations of Native American people. The Language Center encourages the active participation of scholars and students, both Native and non-Native, in the task of language preservation and revitalization, while also providing resources and support for the training of a new and engaged generation of linguists.
