Conference Description:

Hosted by the Council of Indigenous Language Organizations (CILO) and its partners in honor of the United Nations’ International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), the International Conference On Indigenous Language Documentation, Education, And Revitalization (ICILDER) is bringing together Indigenous communities, educators, linguists, and scholars from around the world to share their knowledge and experiences. The theme for this year’s inaugural conference is Language Documentation and Revitalization in the International Decade of Indigenous Languages, or more broadly, Language Is. With presentations and workshops that showcase exemplary practices and innovative approaches, we hope to chart a path forward for the future of Indigenous language work.
