The Live Your Language Alliance (LYLA) is pleased to announce the 2nd Live Your Language
Alliance Conference to be held March 16 -17, 2010!
About the Live Your Language Alliance
Alliance members currently include language workers and advocates from the Tolowa, Karuk,
Yurok, Hupa, Tsnungwe, Wailaki, and Wiyot languages. The Alliance was formed by local
Native people in order to share ideas and strategies, pool resources, and support one another in
our efforts to revitalize our languages and to promote the use of them throughout our
communities.
Call For Proposals
We invite you to submit a proposal to present your work during workshops or sessions at this

northern California. Participants from the Tolowa, Karuk, Yurok, Hupa, Tsnungwe, Wailaki,
and Wiyot people, as well as others, will be in attendance at this community sponsored Native
Languages Conference in Humboldt County, California.
