What is CLPP?
The Collaborative Language Planning Project (CLPP) was formed in 2018 with aims to enhance communication among language activists, language teachers, students, and researchers from Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in the state of Montana. CLPP conducts meetings, workshops, and other activities that work to further the recognition, maintenance, and promotion of Indigenous languages in Montana. Participants include representatives from tribal colleges in Montana as well as language activists, teachers, and researchers from independent community language programs. The goals of CLPP include enriching language revitalization efforts among Indigenous communities, enhancing teachers and activists’ training experiences, and encouraging and fostering collaboration.
