Abstract

A project to create and develop culturally appropriate frameworks that will continually support the revitalization and preservation of indigenous languages that are endangered or have no living speakers. This project takes a decolonized approach in assisting communities to develop their own tribal protocols that work within their cultural context. The project methodology and its findings are applicable for Native American communities developing archival and cultural heritage management systems.
