The Indigenous Interpreter® Curriculum
Katharine is co-author and co-developer of The Indigenous Interpreter® training program. Created by experts in the field in conjunction with indigenous community members and interpreters, this 63-hour training program is the first of its kind in the U.S. to credential interpreters of indigenous languages from Mexico and Central America. Upon successful completion, graduates of the program receive “The Indigenous Interpreter National Credential: Level 1 Qualification.”
The course covers ethics, protocols and modes – including consecutive, relay and simultaneous interpreting – in community and healthcare settings.
Each module includes targeted guidance for overcoming the barriers indigenous interpreters encounter daily when interacting with providers and clients in many different service settings.
