- **Event Description**: Breath of the Ancestors: Reclaiming Our First Words: Empowering early childhood educators, families and communities through shared vision anAbout this EventAbout This GatheringLanguage is breath — alive, relational, and essential to our children's futures.Join us for our 10th Annual Native Language Symposium, Breath of the Ancestors: Reclaiming Our First Words, a two-day gathering centered on early childhood as a powerful and urgent site of Indigenous language and cultural reclamation."First Words" holds a double meaning: the earliest words our children speak, and the original languages of the lands we come from — languages that carry memory, worldview, and the living knowledge of our ancestors. When we return language to our youngest children, we return them to themselves.This symposium brings together early childhood educators, families, language carriers, community leaders, artists, researchers, youth, and advocates from across Turtle Island to learn from one another, strengthen our collective practice, and recommit to this vital work together.What to ExpectOver two days, you'll participate in workshops, panels, and breakout sessions led by practitioners and communities doing this work on the ground. Sessions reflect the full range of Indigenous language reclamation in early childhood — from classroom immersion strategies and family engagement to intergenerational storytelling, land-based learning, and culturally grounded curriculum design.Come ready to share, listen, and be in community.Who Should AttendThis gathering is for you if you are:An early childhood educator working in or alongside Indigenous communitiesA language keeper, elder, or cultural practitioner engaged with young childrenA family member invested in raising children with their ancestral languageA researcher, advocate, or leader supporting Indigenous language revitalizationA young person carrying this work into the futureAll are welcome. The work belongs to all of us.Why This Matters — Why NowWe are in a moment of both urgency and possibility. Languages once silenced are being sung again. Children are growing up hearing words their grandparents fought to keep alive. This symposium exists to honor that momentum — and to ask: how do we carry it forward together?We believe that reclaiming language is not only an act of cultural preservation. It is an act of love, sovereignty, and hope for the generations to come.Event Details Hosted by the Indigenous Montessori Institute &amp; Keres Children's Learning CenterMore details on schedule, sessions, and logistics coming soon.

                "description": "The Indigenous Montessori Institute is an anti-racist, anti-biased approach to education using Indigenous knowledge systems and the Montessori Philosophy to deliver teacher training.  Its intention is to reclaim and center Indigenous Education by decolonizing education in the classroom and system levels, restore Indigenous knowledge systems that support early childhood education, and center Indigenous language, values, and beliefs in education.In addition to teacher training, IMI serves as the host of the Indigenous Montessori Network (IMN).  This Network serves as both a resource hub and advocacy center for Indigenous Education issues.  This Networks works for and is made up of members from Indian early childhood education centers, specifically Montessori programs, throughout the country.IMI was born jointly out of KCLC’s need to develop its own teacher pipeline and the lack of existing teacher training programs that prioritize Indigenous Education.  KCLC requires its teachers to be Keres speakers, active participants in the community, and Montessori trained.  None of these criteria are core training elements in traditional teacher training programs.  Additionally, IMI works to redefine success and achievement in Indian Education, making western achievement standards relevant only when it serves the whole child.  IMI aims to develop teachers who can serve the whole child by nurturing and honoring the language, values, and beliefs of the child’s community alongside rigorous academics.While IMI is focused on Indigenous education and recruiting Indigenous people for training, training at IMI is open to all, regardless of race or ethnicity."
