Bozho jayék! Zhawnokwé ndezhnekas, Bodwéwadmikwé ndaw.  I studied linguistics at the University of Oregon, and since then I've worked as a linguist for members of the Tübatulabal Tribe in California, as well as work for the Center for Applied Second Language Studies at UO, plus of course NILI. And I've had the really good luck to get to study and help document and teach my own language, Potawatomi! Currently I'm back in school learning computer science.

Hello! I am a PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Oregon. I am interested in language revitalization and language learning, and I've gotten to work with NILI since arriving in Eugene as an administrative assistant and as a Summer Institute volunteer. I am happy to see everyone in LRLS!

Itukdi wigwa, I am from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, OR Indian Reservation. I work for the Culture and Heritage Language Program. I am a semi fluent speaker of Kiksht language of the Wasq'u people of the Columbia River. The same dialect as the Wishxam on the opposite side of the Columbia River. We have no more fluent elder speakers of this language. I have been to NILI in my earlier years of becoming a language teacher. I am happy to help out with the break out rooms.

Hi Everyone!  I work at the University of Oklahoma in Norman now, and previously lived in Eugene when I was studying at the University of Oregon.  That's right--I went from UO to OU!  I've taught at the NILI Summer Institute for the past several years, and am so grateful to get to participate in this new way of learning together.
