The theme, Empowering Our Native Language Warriors, identifies all those who fight to keep our native languages alive. Keynote speaker Anthony “Thomas” Morning Owl, of Umatilla descent and a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Pendleton, Oregon, will speak about their success in providing language learning opportunities for all three tribal groups on the reservation.
