HELISET TŦE SḰÁL – ‘Let the Languages Live’ 2019 International Conference on Indigenous Languages, presented by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council and the First Peoples’ Cultural Foundation

At the Lowitja Institute International Indigenous Health and Wellbeing Conference 2019 delegates from around the world will discuss the role of First Nations in leading change and will showcase Indigenous solutions. The conference program will highlight ways of thinking, speaking and being for the benefit of Indigenous peoples everywhere. Join Indigenous leaders, researchers, health professionals, decision makers, community representatives, and our non-Indigenous colleagues in this important conversation.

CLAFest 2019 bridges the gaps between small and large cultures and celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity.

This year the Festival of the Endangered Cultural Heritage focuses attention on the critical risks confronting indigenous languages.

ICLDA 2019 aims to bring together researchers and language activists whose main area of interest are relationships between language and development in African context. We welcome scholars and language activists who are interested in language economy and ecology, language contact and linguistic diversity, language endangerment, description, documentation and revitalization, language maintenance, policy and planning in developing societies where traditional life styles and communicative practices are challenged by the need for development. Our special area of interest will be the place and role of African indigenous languages in the industrialization agendas of developing countries as well as their potential to help governments and NGOs reach the Millennium development goals.
