Current Legislation
Right now in the US House of Representatives bill H.R.1169 is being considered by the Committee on Education and the Workforce. This bill would amend the 1974 Native American Programs Act and reauthorize the Esther Martinez Native American Language Preservation Act, which is supposed to help tribes establish immersion programs with regard to their native language as a means toward the preservation and revitilization of those languages. Referencing this bill would be an excellent way to start of your letter to your Senator or Representative when writing to them about the cause of The Language Conservancy and its partners.
