Summer Institute

NILI’s annual Summer Institute has been running continuously since 1998.

At NILI’s Summer Institute (SI), which traditionally has met the last two weeks of June, participants from across Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, North America and elsewhere gather to work on their Native languages. Ranging from elders to youth, we live, learn and speak together.
 
As we return from the pandemic, we will get together for one week in 2023 on the University of Oregon campus, with a focus on building and rebuilding our supportive relationships and teaching and revitalization practices. We’ll offer strands for beginning and experienced teachers, focused on skills for building language use and supporting your students.  Participants will also attend the Tuxámshish Revitalization Learning Series (TRaiLS), a series of talks and discussions focused on Indigenous Language Revitalization, which will also be open to those not in attendance.
