LINA believes that continued maintenance of Native languages is best accomplished when a community becomes involved in the teaching of its indigenous language. LINA holds forums at the College of Santa Fe in Albuquerque, where it has an office. Trainees range in age from young adults to elders 60 years of age or older. LINA is also an advocacy group regarding Native language issues with the New Mexico State Department of Education and the New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education. Depends on the particular Native language community.
Materials are to be published or publicly disseminated at each language community's discretion.
Limited support is provided by the New Mexico Office of Indian Affairs and from several private foundations. LINA also has benefited from collaborations with the Bilingual Education Unit in the State Department of Education and with the linguistics and bilingual education departments at various NM universities.
