DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ryan DeCaire (University of Toronto)\n\nCoordinates: D
 ecember 2nd\, 3:00–4:30 in ARTS 260 (to be followed by a reception)\n\nTit
 le: Tertiary Education for Indigenous Language Revitalization\n\nAbstract:
  \n\n\n	Indigenous communities\, some now for decades\, have been working t
 irelessly to maintain and revitalize their languages with the hope that th
 eir use will again become normal.  Given this experience\, many communitie
 s are in a very unique\, yet critical\, time in their history as they stru
 ggle to restore intergenerational transmission and primary use among and b
 etween peer groups. In this struggle\, we are noticing that adults are now
  more important than ever\, especially given their necessary role in raisi
 ng and teaching children. While focusing on our situation in Kanien’kehá:k
 a (Mohawk) communities\, in this presentation I will discuss the critical 
 role of adults in our revitalization efforts\, how we are creating second 
 language speakers\, and how we can work in partnership with the University
  to make a historical impact in the pursuit to revitalize Indigenous langu
 ages.\n\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\n\n	Ryan DeCaire is Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) and w
 as born and raised in Wáhta Mohawk Territory.  His work is primarily focus
 ed on best practices for developing advanced oral proficiency in adults as
  well as Kanien’kéha documentation for revitalization. He is a language le
 arner and instructor in immersion and non-immersion environments. Ryan is
