Summits

Strategic Summit Meetings will address issues, concerns, and initiatives specific to sustaining and advancing Indigenous cultures. The Summits are designed to engage stakeholders in developing action plans and/or protocols that will help ensure productive and unified approaches to building support for Indigenous cultural institutions, identifying viable and needed initiatives, and developing methodologies for advancing cross-cultural understanding. With the exception of the Language Summit, Summit leaders will report on findings at the opening ceremony (9/11), seek additional input from conference attendees, and make a wrap-up report at the closing ceremony (9/12). Publications defining strategic directions will be an outcome of each Summit.
