The Indigenous Child Language Research Center (ICLRC) is hosting the Child Language Acquisition Symposium for Indigenous Communities (CLASIC) to support and grow language nest programs across the US and Canada, where infants, toddlers, and young children are immersed in an Indigenous language so that they are raised as fluent speakers. This two-day gathering fosters empirical research in partnership with language nests by creating cultural and educational opportunities for both Indigenous community members and linguistic researchers. CLASIC accomplishes this goal by virtue of its uniqueness as a conference that equitably brings together community language programs, the families of children who attend these programs, and those who may carry out research with these programs. The conference provides equal time and opportunity for each of these diverse stakeholders to speak to and be heard. Such dialogue should result in partnerships among language nests and between language nests and researchers. Very little acquisition research is done with Indigenous languages. This conference provides a venue for language nest representatives, parents, and linguistic researchers to have important discussions of how first language acquisition research and language revitalization initiatives among very young children can support one another. The conference supports a primary goal of ICLRC, which is to work in partnership with communities to ensure the vitality of child language acquisition of Indigenous languages and to disseminate knowledge on child language acquisition research in an ethical and responsible way. Additionally, conference discussion can identify empirically supported developmental paths for Indigenous language acquisition, inform language policy, and shape evidence-based curriculum. The unique research focus of CLASIC draws attention to first language acquisition among Indigenous communities, groups that have historically been underrepresented in child language research. This conference supports initiatives for Indigenous people to lead important child language acquisition research collaboratively and with their own communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

土著儿童语言研究中心（ICLRC）主持了针对土著社区（CLASIC）的儿童语言获取研讨会，以支持和发展整个美国和加拿大的语言巢穴计划，婴儿，幼儿和幼儿和幼儿都沉浸在本地语言中，以使他们被培养为流利的演讲者。这项为期两天的聚会通过为土著社区成员和语言研究人员创造文化和教育机会，与语言巢穴合作促进了实证研究。 Clasic通过其独特性作为一次会议来实现这一目标，该会议公平地汇集了社区语言计划，参加这些计划的儿童家庭以及可能对这些计划进行研究的人。会议为每个不同的利益相关者提供了相同的时间和机会，可以与之交谈和听到。这种对话应导致语言巢之间以及语言巢和研究人员之间的伙伴关系。 用土著语言进行的获取研究很少。这次会议为语言巢穴代表，父母和语言研究人员提供了一个重要的场所，以讨论如何习得的第一语言获取研究和语言振兴计划如何互相支持。该会议支持ICLRC的主要目标，即与社区合作，以确保儿童语言获取土著语言的活力，并以道德和负责任的方式传播有关儿童语言获取研究的知识。此外，会议讨论可以确定本地语言获取，语言政策和基于证据的课程的经验支持的发展途径。克拉斯克人的独特研究重点引起了对土著社区的第一语言习得的关注，而土著社区在儿童语言研究中历史上的人数不足。这次会议支持土著人民协作和与自己的社区领导重要儿童语言获取研究的举措。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估来支持的。
