NOW IN ITS 15th YEAR
The American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI) features four weeks of intensive study in American Indian linguistics, bilingual-bicultural education, and culture-based curriculum development, followed by local projects implemented in participants' home schools and communities. This year's theme is: Literacy and Literatures in Indigenous Languages; courses, special workshops, and guest speaker presentations all highlight the development and use of native language materials. Offering 6 graduate or undergraduate credit hours, the ALDI brings together linguists, tribal elders, bilingual/ESL specialists, teachers, aides, parents and school administrators in an integrated learning experience. Courses emphasize holistic, interactive teaching strategies that utilize Indian children's prior knowledge, promote self-esteem, and develop literacy, biliteracy and critical thinking. All courses lead toward regular degree programs and bilingual and ESL endorsements.

The creation of the Storyteller doll was a result of a revival of the oldest forms of Native American self-portraiture and reinvented a tradition of figurative pottery among the Rio Grande peoples; the result was a revolution in Pueblo ceramics. The drawing above depicts a Storyteller made by E. Hererra of Cochiti, N.M.; she sits four inches tall, and has three “babies.” Her costume was borrowed from the traditional Navajo style.
