Title: Native American Language Revitalization Legislation in the 113th Congress
Body:
The Linguistic Society of America is currently engaged in a campaign to educate and inform members of the U.S. Congress about the benefits of Native American language revitalization.

H.R.726/S.2299 Native American Languages Reauthorization Act of 2014
H.R.4214/S.1948 Native Language Immersion Student Achievement Act
The LSA is working with its Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation (CELP) and allied organizations to raise awareness within Congress about the importance of Native American language revitalization. If you are interested in communicating your opinions about this legislation to your Senators or Representatives, you can go to this link: http://cqrcengage.com/nhalliance/app/write-a-letter?1&engagementId=55173
