The inaugural Child Language Acquisition Symposium for Indigenous Communities (CLASIC).
Debuting in 2024, CLASIC is a symposium concerned with Indigenous child language acquisition in the United States and Canada.
Land Acknowledgement
Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The original peoples of New Mexico — Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache — since time immemorial, have deep connections to the land and make significant contributions to the broader community statewide. We honor the land itself and those who are stewards of this land throughout the generations and also acknowledge our committed relationship to Indigenous peoples. We recognize their linguistic histories and affirm the value of their languages and cultures carried within their communities, our state, and the world.
CLASIC Hosts
We at the Indigenous Child Language Research Center (ICLRC) welcome you to the website for the inaugural Child Language Acquisition Symposium for Indigenous Communities! We are faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students at the University of New Mexico who support the critical work that communities are doing to strengthen Indigenous languages. We look forward to personally welcoming you to the Land of Enchantment in May!
