TRIBAL & COMMUNITY OUTREACH
NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE PRESERVATION:
Recognizing the critical significance of indigenous languages to tribal identity, the NAC actively supports collaboration among individuals and groups to preserve and revitalize use of Native American languages throughout the state. To this end, NAC staff participate in various efforts related to Native language revitalization in Wisconsin, including Ojibwemowin Gabeshiwin, a week-long summer immersion camp that promotes Ojibwe language learning among youth and young adults.
In addition, an important research area under current examination is the adult acquisition of Native American languages. Other endeavors include compilation of a directory of Native American language resource persons, and various Native language media prototype projects.
PUBLIC EDUCATION:
The NAC conducts periodic lectures and informational presentations for campus faculty, as well as area schools and community groups upon request. Historically, the NAC staff have presented on a variety of topics related to American Indians, responding to presentation requests as time and resources allow.
