ENDANGERED LANGUAGE FUND

The 56th iteration of the Algonquian Conference was held at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, 24-27 October, 2024. This series of conferences brings together academic linguists and tribal language activists (with some attendees being both) to discuss issues in the structure and use of Algonquian languages throughout North America. There were 182 attendees, the majority of whom registered for the conference as a whole; 37 registered just for the banquet at which language activists from Oklahoma Algonquian tribes were honored. The presentations and attendance at the conference highlighted the continuing increase in the number and size of language revitalization programs, as well as the relevance of the linguistic insights into the various languages these programs support.
