Indigenous Languages Across the Generations

Strengthening Families and Communities

Edited by Ran Chen, Teresa L. McCarty, Simon J. Ortiz and Mary Eunice Romero-Little

This 21-chapter volume grew out of the 16th annual Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium held at Arizona State University in 2009. Included are keynote addresses by K. Laina Wong, Lily Wong Fillmore, Renee Grounds and Ngugi wa Thiong'o, as well as case examples from Africa, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada, Latin America, Russia and the United States. Together, the chapters provide a treasure trove of lessons for "strengthening families and communities" through language revitalization.
