[OR_Archaeology] Fwd: Help Save Chinuk Wawa at LCC!

[Sara Palmer]

Colleagues: as you may know, I'm a proud alum of the Lane Community College
chinuk wawa (Chinook Jargon) program, a program now threatened with
cancellation. Please join me in sharing with the LCC administration how
important this program and indigenous language revival are to the heritage
-- and the future! -- of the Pacific Northwest.

Details on how you can help are in the email below from Jerome Viles, an
instructor in the program.

Please feel free to forward this email. hayu masi!

Please share! Come join us this Wednesday!

> In the fall, Lane Community College's administration effectively canceled
> the Chinuk Wawa language program at the school, placing it on an indefinite
> "hiatus". While the American Indian Languages Committee at LCC has
> continued advocating for this invaluable and one of a kind program, the
> administration has been silent. So, some of us are seeking to be heard by
> LCC's Board of Education. Would you please join us in support of Chinuk
> Wawa at LCC?! Please help us pack the board room and request a reversal of
> the administration's decision and a commitment to the continuation of
> Chinuk Wawa at our community college!!
>
> The LCC Board of Education meets on May 11th at 6:30pm in Building 3, Room
> 216. Their meetings begin with 20 minutes for public comments so if you'd
> like to speak in support of the program please do!
> Please join us prior to the Board meeting at 5:25pm in Building 5 Room 126
> for a meal, songs, and prayer.
>
> If you’re interested in submitting written support of CW at LCC please
> email Vice President Dawn DeWolf at dewolfd at lanecc.edu.
