During the past three years, these sessions have brought together linguists, anthropologists, Dane-<u>z<\/u>aa chiefs, councilors, elders and other community members to discuss language endangerment, revitalization efforts and language policy. These stories and conversations I have collected will be used by the community members for language and cultural education.
