The Minnesota Indian Affairs Council’s Language Revitalization Working Group, partnering with the Minnesota Humanities Center, is hosting the 4th Annual Dakota and Ojibwe Languages Symposium. This year the symposium will be held March 3rd and March 4th 2025 at Black Bear Casino Resort.

The goal of the symposium is to bring people working in Dakota and Ojibwe languages revitalization together. We will use this time to celebrate successes, highlight the current state of the field, shape future language revitalization efforts, and elevate the visibility of Indigenous languages throughout the state of Minnesota. By bringing people together, we hope this symposium serves as an opportunity for individuals to network with other Dakota and Ojibwe language professionals.

If you're interested in leading an in-person session for other symposium participants, please describe your session and activities with the Community Presenter Application. Sessions will be approximately 45 minutes long. Proposals are due November 15th. All applicants will be notified of the planning committee’s decision on their proposal by November 29th. If you have any questions, please email Skyler Kuczaboski or call/text 651-304-4149.
