E/2022/43 E/C.19/2022/11 International Decade. The Permanent Forum recommends that UNESCO and it s member States initiate work, with the possible assistance of the Statistical Commission, on indigenous language-related data, with adequate funding to support the post-2030 priorities. The Permanent Forum invites the Indigenous Navigator to offer its tools and data for the global collection of data on indigenous languages. 30. The Permanent Forum recognizes the key role of indigenous peoples in launching initiatives and projects related to the International Decade, such as the Shawnee tribe’s declaration of a decade of the Shawnee language and the establishment of a language immersion programme, as well as the initiative of the Cherokee Nation to establish a Cherokee language centre. Similarly, the Nganasan and Enets peoples in the Taimyr Peninsula have established “language nests” to support early immersion, based on the methodology used for the revitalization of Maori, Hawaiian, Karelian and Inari Sami languages. The Permanent Forum encourages indigenous peoples in other countries to follow their example. 31. The Permanent Forum recommends that UNESCO and other United Nations entities facilitate the work of language activists, including through methodological, educational, scientific, psychosocial and financial support, within the framework of the International Decade. The Permanent Forum invites UNESCO and its Forum of National Commissions, the United Nations Children ’s Fund and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research to develop, in cooperation with experts and representatives of indigenous peoples, an incubator of international methodologies in multilingual education, including studies of language revitalization best practices, teacher training and cross-cultural learning tools by 2025. 32. The Permanent Forum recognizes the crucial role of academia in researching, documenting and teaching indigenous languages. It encourages UNESCO to duly consider and accept UNESCO Chair applications by universities and research institutions with a view to establishing UNESCO Chairs on indigenous languages a nd other educational initiatives that support the goals of the International Decade. 33. The Permanent Forum encourages Member States and relevant subnational governmental bodies and agencies to ensure the allocation of funding for the establishment of appropriate institutions, including by establishing permanent linguist positions, to promote the conservation, revitalization, use and development of indigenous languages. Particular attention should be given to languages at risk of extinction. 34. The Permanent Forum also calls upon Member States to expand indigenous language immersion methods and bilingual schools to support indigenous children and youth to reclaim their languages. The Permanent Forum recommends that Member States, where appropriate, incorporate intercultural and bilingual education in national school curricula, including through language immersion programmes, and ensure that the language of the subnational region or area in which the school is located is part of the curricula. In this regard, the Permanent Forum recommends that Member States, in close cooperation with indigenous peoples, establish educational programmes on indigenous languages for indigenous teachers, filmmakers, translators and interpreters, scientists, information technolog y specialists and other professionals. Such efforts would support the expansion of domains covered by indigenous languages and, consequently, contribute to language development and maintenance and the restoration of indigenous peoples’ pride in their own languages. 35. Recognizing the central role of public and indigenous peoples ’ education systems, the Permanent Forum recommends that Member States collect disaggregated data, within the next two years, on the number of indigenous students who attend kindergartens, small ungraded schools, nomadic schools and boarding schools across the regions to secure opportunities for children to remain in their communities. 22-07676 9/27
