In celebration of International Mother Language Day on February 21, the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage has posted a new “Festival Photo Gallery” showcasing the many cultural experts who so generously shared their language revitalization efforts and cultural traditions as part of the One World, Many Voices:  Endangered Languages and Cultural Heritage program at the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Visit the Festival Photo Galleries and explore the many other resources featured on the One World, Many Voices website.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped to make the One World, Many Voices:  Endangered Languages and Cultural Heritage program possible through their invaluable support, advice, assistance, participation, and research.

With best wishes,
