Hopi Language Assessment Project

Hopi Language Assessment Project (HLAP)
The Hopi Language Assessment Project was a project carried out by the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office in 1997, funded by a grant from the Administration for Native Americans, to assess the fluency and use of Hopi in the day-to-day lives of the 10,000 enrolled Hopi tribal members living in the 12 Hopi villages. The conclusion of the Hopi Language Assessment Project allowed for the creation of the Hopi Language Education and Preservation Plan, which asserts that the continued use of the Hopi language is vital, and that Hopi should be taught at home and in the villages by knowledgeable speakers. The Hopi Language Education and Preservation Plan is carried out by the Hopilavayi Project.
