Esther Martinez Initiative: Preserving the Heart of our Cultures

Celebrating 10 Years of the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act
March 12, 2018

This briefing gives an overview of data and lessons learned from the Esther Martinez Immersion program, covering 2008-2017.

 

In 2017, several ANA grantees collaborated with our Training and Technical Assistance providers to tell the story of their Esther Martinez Initiative projects. These videos show the impact the Native language programs have had on participants and the larger community.

This edition of the ANA Messenger highlights projects focused on language and culture. It is very important to preserve and maintain languages throughout the Tribal community. Language connects people to their ancestors, spirituality, and culture and provides a better sense of who they are.

Published by the U.S. Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Interior, this report reflects efforts to identify the barriers, levers, and best practices that federal agencies can use to better support Native American languages. The information used to generate these recommendations include Tribal Consultation, listening sessions, dialogues at two Native American Languages Summits as well as information from research and other reports.
