As some of you know, the American Indian Studies Research Institute name has been formally changed to the "Institute for Indigenous Knowledge" (eye-eye-kay), reflecting an expansion of its geographic and disciplinary scope. As it continues its collaborative work with American Indian, or Native American, nations and communities, it is also partnering with other Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native, and Māori. The Center for the Documentation of Endangered Languages name has changed to the "Center for the Documentation and Revitalization of Indigenous Languages" (see-drill) to reflect its language revitalization and reclamation work as well as its focus on Indigenous languages. The changes are part of a paradigm shift at the Institute to community-driven, community-engaged scholarship and decolonizing and indigenizing methods and methodologies.

The American Indian Studies Research Institute (AISRI) and its Center for the Documentation of Endangered Languages (CDEL) IS NOT and WILL NOT BE in any way affiliated with the upcoming International Conference on Indigenous Language Documentation, Education, and Revitalization (ICILDER) to be held in Bloomington, Indiana. The conference is being put together by the Language Conservancy and its various sub organizations, including the Lakota Language Consortium. The two main architects of the Language Conservancy and its sub organizations have been credibly called out by numerous Native American / Indigenous nations, communities, and individuals for unethical work practices. See, for example, this article: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/native-american-language-preservation-rcna31396 #

AISRI-CDEL recognizes the questionable history of non-Native/Indigenous linguists' and anthroplogists' treatment of Native/Indigenous communities and Native/Indigenous intellectual property. This includes researchers previously involved with AISRI-CDEL. The current AISRI-CDEL administration is working to redress these concerns.

“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.
