Abstract
Indigenous child language and child directed language research is largely underrepresented among linguistic studies, although it can greatly increase the empirical study of child language and our understanding of child language development. There are challenges faced in doing this work, including strained relationships between communities and researchers, dwindling numbers of speakers due to the effects of boarding schools, and the disregard for data sovereignty on the side of research. The Indigenous Child Language Research Center (ICLRC) at the University of New Mexico recognizes the need to address and mend these issues in order for communities to participate in first language acquisition research. As a resource for communities interested in research, the ICLRC aims to assist with their revitalization efforts by offering the center as a resource for community-led child language development and acquisition research.
