THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2003 Members of New Mexico's Congressional delegation introduced a bill to create a language preservation center for Native languages in the Southwest. The bill came out of a May 18 Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing. Representatives of Southwest tribes said they wanted to set up their own Native language school under proposed amendments to the Native American Languages Act. The center would be located at the University of New Mexico, which would work with the Linguistic Institute for Native Americans. Get the Story:
