Still Here. Still Speaking. Still Learning.
Hello Relatives,
The Language Conservancy is at the forefront of empowering Tribes, First Nations and Indigenous communities efforts to revitalize their Indigenous languages. We provide a comprehensive array of technical support that includes linguistic, computational, graphic, and other services to help fill the gap to advance language revitalization across North America.
2025 has been a significant year for TLC, we have made the transition for the first time in our 20 year history to complete Indigenous leadership at the board and executive levels.
This signifies a critical shift that has positioned us to better align our organization and work with the values of the Indigenous languages and communities that we serve. Our board is comprised of Indigenous leaders who are at the forefront of Indigenous language revitalization within their own communities. This firsthand knowledge and experience is helping us to reimagine the way we work and the services that we provide at TLC. We will continue to build upon the best of what we do while positioning our organization to better meet the growing needs for support across Indigenous communities.
We are excited to invite you to join us in 2026!

We Are Asking For Your Help
With a year end goal of $90,000 and $45,000 already pledged by four anonymous donors, we’re half way there! Your support helps us reach the remaining 50%, funding the essential programming grants alone cannot – honoring Elders, supporting Indigenous artists, printing and shipping books, updating digital tools, and ensuring our teams can show up with integrity and care.
Language revitalization doesn’t happen all at once, it is a building movement. It happens one word, one story, one classroom at a time.
REVITALIZING NORTH AMERICA’S INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES
The Language Conservancy is a leading non-profit dedicated to revitalizing Indigenous languages across North America. We work with Tribal Leaders through the full lifecycle of language revitalization—from documentation and educator training to the development of cutting-edge digital tools and learning materials.
Our approach is rooted in respect, relationship, and innovation. Led by experienced Indigenous Linguists and Cultural Leaders, TLC prioritizes community-driven strategies that build local capacity and honor the expertise of Elders, educators, and first language speakers.
Whether you’re just beginning your revitalization journey or scaling up an existing project, TLC offers hands-on support, project consultation, and the tools you need to build a strong future for your language.
