UPDATE JULY 11, 2019 PLEASE FOR TODAY
Remember to get this information out to your fellow tribal members who are interested in participating in this year’s summit.
Welcome to the Yuman Summit Language camp 2019 There have been some changes.
• We are employing a camp director for the summit. He and an assistant will be working on the upkeep and safety of the participants. They will be in contact with the emergency people and be in contact with outside sources in case others need to get ahold of campers.
• Everyone must check in whether they are staying overnight or not. Participants who are at the camp will have either a name badge or visitors wrist band. This is for accountability and for getting something to eat.
• Enclosed is an overhead map of the camp and designated areas. Please look over and see where you may be able to set up your camps. REMEMBER, 1st come 1st serve regarding camping. Some areas have already been claimed by the groups who attended the last meeting at the youth camp.
• The Hualapai Forest department have recently began a system of monitoring who camps and visits their national forests. Permits are required for each person/ group that are going to be at the camp. We are looking for numbers and the tribes represented there. This is for the safety in case of fire, flood or animal encounters.
• We are asking for a representative for each camping group to be the head person to report to the camp manager and assistant. So in case of an emergency there is a way to make sure everyone is accounted for.

Arts and Crafts:

Yuman Language Family Summit Immersion Camp 2019
Welcome to a new direction in the revitalization of the Yuman languages. The current Yuman Family Language Summit Committee has decided to once again hold the annual summit outdoors. Following a model of creating a language learning environment, the committee is planning a place where Yuman language can be spoken. For the upcoming year of 2019 the plans are to take our past summit participants and stay at the Hualapai Youth Camp in Peach Spring where we can learn, practice and speak our languages.
Our long term goal is to provide a foundation for each tribe to set up their own camps and other events to use the language. We will provide a pre-set list of phrases and words but it will be up to the people to come up with their defined list. The list of phrases to translate into the Yuman language and to bring to the camp is included in this packet but you can add to it and we encourage you to add to it.
We are working along the same plan that we had in 2017.We will be back at the Youth camp Some rooms and indoor sleeping quarters are available for the elderly and those with limited capabilities. Tent camp sites are all over the place and we are working on designated camps sites for the Mohave, Quechan, Cocopa, Kumeyaay, Hualapai and more. There are 6 pads available for RV's. We are putting the bids in for a cook to help us with our needs. This is open to all those interested in speaking, learning and using our languages. We are also looking to create “lifelines” of language speakers to help people “stay in the language.” In 2017 we found that we had a lot of youth joined us for this camp and we want to make sure that we get youth involved. We would ask that if there will be a group of youth attending from your community that they have the right amount of chaperones for the event.
We look forward to your participation and we will help you get the lists of things you need to bring, cabins to rent and most important, using your language in a themed setting. Get ready to speak and learn.
