SB 109-COUNCIL FOR ALASKA NATIVE LANGUAGES
4:15:33 PM
CHAIR SHOWER announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 109
"An Act renaming the Alaska Native Language Preservation and
Advisory Council as the Council for Alaska Native Languages; and
relating to the Council for Alaska Native Languages."
4:15:44 PM
SENATOR DONNY OLSON, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska,
sponsor of SB 109, introduced the legislation paraphrasing the
following sponsor statement:
Senate Bill 109 reflects a request from the Alaska
Native Language Preservation and Advisory Council to
change its name to the "Council for Alaska Native
Languages." This change would shorten the Council's
name while emphasizing the Council's broader focus,
which includes more than just language preservation.
In fact, the statute establishing the Council, AS
44.33.520, states the purpose of the Council is to
recommend "the establishment or reorganization of
programs to support the preservation, restoration, and
revitalization of Alaska Native languages."
The Council also requests an increase in membership
from 5 to 7 members in recognition of the diversity of
Alaska Native languages in the state (there are at
least 20 Native languages in Alaska). This allows for
greater language representation on the Council and
increases the involvement of a great number of native
language speakers from different regions of the state.
4:17:27 PM
CHAIR SHOWER held SB 109 in committee for future consideration.
