The Pacific Northwest: a geographic area ranging from Alaska to Northern California, to Montana (including British Columbia). The Indigenous languages of this area were and remain interconnected with one another. Recently, the area has been a hotbed for language revitalization and reclamation work.
The Symposium on Northwest American Indigenous Languages (SNAIL), hosted by the Northwest Native American Language Resource Center (NW-NALRC) at the Northwest Indigenous Language Institute (NILI), seeks to provide a venue for language speakers, artists, communities, and linguists to come together to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and celebrate the beauty and diversity of languages within the Pacific Northwest.
We invite talks on any topic relevant to Indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest. We do prioritize presentations from presenters that: a) are Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest or neighboring regions; b) work for a Tribal Nation in the Pacific Northwest or neighboring regions; or c) are working in collaboration with a Tribal Nation. While theoretical and typological presentations are welcome to apply, they will not be given priority over the work of one of the above groups. SNAIL 2026 will be held from June 26-27 in Eugene in conjunction with the NILI Summer Institute.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents its 2026-27 endowed lectureship series centered on the theme of Reading.
We are used to thinking about reading in relation to writing, musical scores, performances, and works of cinema and art. But as social animals, we read more broadly. We read the signs. We read the landscape. We read each others’ faces and body language. We “read the room.”
Our speakers will consider how people observe, look for patterns, try to discern meaning. How does reading shape humanity, individually and collectively? What might taking an extended, intentional look at this activity—our constant reading—reveal? Using approaches honed by their disciplines, our invited speakerswill help us think about reading from a variety of directions.
