Conferences and workshops
The annual California Indian Conference, inaugurated at Berkeley in 1985, is meeting on campus from Thursday, October 15, through Saturday, October 17. The schedule includes panels and talks about language on Friday and Saturday, including a Saturday morning session "Open conversation on indigenous language revitalization: How can UC Berkeley and communities work together?" The CIC is a great opportunity to find out more about California Indian cultures and languages!
