Cantoni (Ed.) (1996), Flag staff: Center for Excellence in Education, Northern Arizona University Rationale and Needs for Stabilizing Indigenous Languages JonReyhner Despite ongoing challenges and setbacks, the struggle of American Indian and Alaska Native communities for the legal right to maintain their languages and cultures has been won for the most part. An extensive body of legislation and litigation continues to fortify tribal rights. Our efforts in the United States are being strengthened internationally by actions of the United Nations aimed at protecting the lands, rights, languages, and cultures of indigenous peoples world wide. Most American Indian tribes, however, like many other indigenous peoples of the world, lack what may be termed the effective right to save their languages and cultures. The effective right as it is used here means access to the knowl edge, strategies, and resources necessary to resist destruction of languages and cultures. Stated more simply, the effective right means access to the tools for getting the job done. The legal right without the effective right is of little value.
