Native American Language Preservation Act

The Native American Language Preservation Act is a law that supports efforts to keep and revitalize Indigenous languages in the United States. It provides funding and resources to Native communities, schools, and organizations for language education, documentation, and cultural activities. The goal is to help Indigenous peoples preserve their linguistic heritage, which is vital to their cultural identity and traditions. By promoting language use and learning, the Act aims to prevent these languages from disappearing and to ensure future generations can continue speaking and understanding their ancestral languages.
