Speaking of Languages: Educators Back Native American Language Bills
by Tanya H. Lee
June 21, 2014
The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs found strong support for proposed legislation to increase federal support for Native American language programs during a legislative hearing that took up the Native American Languages Reauthorization Act of 2014 (S. 2299) and the Native Language Immersion Student Achievement Act (S. 1948).
The seven witnesses easily found consensus about the need to fund Native language programs for elementary and secondary school American Indian/Alaska Native children in order to preserve the dozens of indigenous languages under threat.

Title: German Monastery Named UNESCO World Heritage Site
Body:
From http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__pr/GIC/2014/06/23-WorldHeritage.html
The Imperial Abbey of Corvey, a Benedictine monastery located on the River Weser, became Germany's 39th UNESCO World Heritage Site on Saturday. The site, which was built under the leadership of Louis the Pious in former Dutch Saxony around 822 A.D., has the only preserved Westwork building dating back to the Carolingian era.
Corvey is widely considered one of the most important monasteries of the Middle Ages. It was politically and economically important to the Frankish Empire, and was also a pilgrimage destination. Today it is located near the town of Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia, and attracts more than 100,000 tourists each year - a number that is sure to rise after its identification as a World Heritage Site.
Corvey was the only German site added during the meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Doha on Saturday. Last year, the committee added Germany's Wilhelmshöhe - the largest European hillside park - to the list. In total, there are just over 1,000 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the globe.
