The blog I read tonight is a copy of a announcement made by the Government of Canada to provide funding to the Sweetgrass First Nations Language Council, an organization that promotes Aboriginal languages across Ontario. The funding is provided through the Aboriginal Languages Initiative, part of the Department of Canadian Heritage's Aboriginal Peoples' Program. This is one way to get funding to do all kinds of interesting projects for Aborignal Languages in Canada. There is support from the federal government for these kinds of initiatives. One of these days when I have the time I will need to understand how to write up proposals and apply for this kind of funding to enhance our Inuit language programs in Nunavut.
The other site I came across only had this abstract on: This article discusses the development of integrated multilingual Web databases to help the preservation of the Native American language East Cree. It would be interesting to read the whole thing.....maybe some other time.
