The 2017/18 Language Preservation Cohort is currently in progress. All current and past Potlatch Fund grantees are eligible to register.
This year, the Language Preservation Cohort is embarking on an exciting new strategy to increase the capacity of our language leaders and learners. The cohort’s focus will be on conducting a Community Language Assessment as outlined in our pioneering Language Transfer System. The Language Preservation Cohort includes two convenings and eight webinars.
