At the community level, a high priority should be the dissemination of information so that everyone becomes aware of the threat of language loss and the strategies for preventing or reversing it. Conferences and training sessions on cultural topics that reinforce language awareness and community identity should be well advertised and promoted, especially among educators and parents. The public is often unaware of the existence, availability, and location of resources that would serve their needs and interest at little or no cost to the user. Each community can emphasize and demonstrate its language loyalty by posting signs, announcements, advertisements, and other messages in the local language, even if they already exist in English. Radio broadcasts, theatrical performances, art shows, and other special events can also be powerful tools for strengthening a community's cultural and linguistic identity.
Senior citizens can be a powerful language transmission resource.
Many of them would welcome the opportunity to share their unique knowledge with students of all ages, and especially with young children in day-care centers. In today's economy, it is often necessary for both parents to go to work and miss the opportunity to give their children a traditional upbringing a home. These families would appreciate the linguistic and cultural continuity provided by the presence of senior citizens in day-care facilities. The seniors, on the other hand, could gain some financial independence and prestige. At the tribal level, elected officials can support their native language through personal example, by using it and encouraging other to use it.
