At-home language nesting materials (template)
If you are interested in at-home language nesting for the language you work with, please use and enjoy the following templates of the materials used in this project. You will need to create an account on Canva (free). These are special "template" links that allow you to edit and adapt them as much as you please, without affecting the original files. You are also welcome to use this website as inspiration for a similar website for your language community. Let's not reinvent the wheel! Reach out with any questions to julia.peck@berkeley.edu, and tell me if you end up using these resources— I'd love to keep track.

Nature walk mini-zine (template)
I created this mini-zine alongside heritage learner Shaunie Briggs for Salinan, an indigenous language of central California, at the 2023 Breath of Life Archival Institute for Indigenous California Languages. It is intended to accompany a language learner as they walk through traditional Salinan lands. This is an editable template that you can adapt for your language. Many thanks to Anna Macknick, the originator of this template and many other great projects for low-resource languages.
