We move toward language revitalization by supporting Indigenous communities’ resilience. Resilience is the capacity to withstand or to recover from difficulties and to thrive in the face of resistance. Through Indigenous resilience, we can see a future where languages are reclaimed and Nations can be renewed in this reclamation of cultures. This is possible due to deep roots, long memory, and ongoing story. We are grounded and invite others to know our roots so we all may flourish together. We gather in community and create new communities in this ongoing work. We gather in conversation as Indigenous people, language speakers and learners, established and emerging language scholars and educators, mentors, and mentees, and non-Indigenous people researchers, educators, and graduate students to ensure our work is rooted in the knowledge of the deep resilience that continues to ground Indigenous culture, languages, and peoples.
