Saxon is an advocate for the revitalization of the First Nations languages of Canada, and is especially involved in the Tłįchǫ community in the Northwest Territories, including being involved in many community projects and co-editing a dictionary of Tłıįcho Yatıì (a Dene language, also known as Dogrib) with Mary Siemens in 1996. Saxon's and Siemen's dictionary is now available online.

Besides her community involvement, Saxon is also involved in theoretical research, including research on the syntax of pronouns and other noun phrases, clause structure, morphology, and historical linguistics.

From 2013-2015, she was president of the Canadian Linguistic Association.
