The primary goal of the gathering is relationship-building, with two main objectives in mind: to build a network of emerging and established scholars and practitioners to create a space of mentorship and solidarity to support Indigenous Language Revitalization work within colonial and minority language education programs; and to produce a position paper articulating practice-based guiding principles for future collaboration and generation of educational resources based on a pluralist orientation to language learning, teaching and use.
