American Indian Language Development Institute

The American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI) is a program dedicated to revitalizing and strengthening Native American languages. It offers training, resources, and support to help indigenous communities recover, maintain, and teach their traditional languages, many of which are endangered. By fostering language fluency among speakers and educators, AILDI aims to preserve cultural heritage, promote linguistic diversity, and ensure that these languages continue to thrive for future generations. The institute collaborates with tribes, scholars, and educators to create sustainable language programs tailored to each community's needs.
