About the Event
Montana Early Childhood Tribal Language Summit
May 26-28, 2026 | Montana State University | Bozeman, Montana
Tribal teams, educators, Native language and culture advocates, and individuals
working in support of Native children and their families are invited to come together to
honor each other's work in teaching and supporting Native languages and cultures.
While early childhood education is the foundation of this work, the walls are built by an
ecosystem of passionate individuals from early childhood to the college/university level
and the workforce. This event provides time and space to collectively share challenges
and paths to success in Native language and culture acquisition.
You will meet educators from Montana early childhood programs, Tribal Colleges,
immersion schools, and nationwide language advocates to discuss the best
practices that help language and culture to flourish within our tribal communities.
Come learn, share, and create connections with other passionate educators,
community partners, and advocates. The full agenda and registration link are
forthcoming.
*Continuing Education Units (CUs) and OPI Renewal Credits: Participants are eligible for
CEUs and OP Renewal Credits through the Montana Office of Public Instruction for
