14th Annual Symposium on Stabilizing Indigenous Languages
Working Together We Can Bring Back the Language: How Technology Can Make it Happen

June 1-3, 2007
Mt. Pleasant, MI

"Working together we can bring back the language" or, as stated in Anishinaabemowin, one of the many endangered languages, "Pane gdaa maamwizimii wii pskaabimigaag maanda zhigiizhweyin." This year at the 14th annual SILS (Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium) language instructors, technology experts and linguists will gather again to share the work, and the dreams, of language communities all over the world. We ask questions of ourselves and one another. We challenge the limits and the expectations regarding the survival of linguistic diversity and cultural continuity. We look for ways in our modern world to understand and teach our language to our children and to the children of the seventh generation.
