With Language at the Heart: Researcher, School, Community, and Tribal College Collaborations in Indigenous Education
Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium brings together education researchers and school, community, tribal college, and nonprofit leaders in a dialogue on research and practice/praxis in Indigenous language reclamation, the “heart” of many contemporary Indigenous education initiatives. The session focuses on Indigenous-language immersion (ILI), a holistic approach designed to promote learners’ cognitive, linguistic, affective, and social-emotional development alongside their cultural knowledge and ethnic identity, thereby contributing to students’ academic well-being and the well-being and self-determination of their cultural communities. Presentations and discussant commentary elucidate the role of relationality and collaboration in ILI projects across diverse linguistic, cultural, and geographic settings, suggesting the ways in which these processes are profoundly important for Native students and can enhance education opportunities and outcomes for all learners.
