From Roy Mitchell (roy.mitchell@sealaska.com) 25 Nov 2003:

I am organizing a session on "Revitalizing Indigenous Circumpolar
Languages" for the 31st Annual Meeting of the Alaska Anthropological
Association, which will meet April 7-10, 2004, in Whitehorse, Yukon
Territory.

Indigenous communities in the North have been working actively since
the 1960s to revitalize their languages, often through formal programs
in schools or through direct tribal activities. This session is to
consider which areas of language work actually are contributing to
language revitalization (and, perhaps, which are not), why or why not,
and to propose what further efforts are needed and why.

Anyone interested in contributing to this session should contact me at
the address below.
