Hi Richard,<BR>
the Indigenous Language Institute (ILI) teaches a workshop on how to create Native Language print materials (including children's booklets) using Publisher. A number of example books are available on ILI's website here: <A href="http://www.ilinative.org/share/repository.html">http://www.ilinative.org/share/repository.html</A>. More info on the workshops is available here: <A href="http://www.ilinative.org/workshops/">http://www.ilinative.org/workshops/</A>. <BR>

Best,<BR>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>is there a place where we can see some of the 80 some books</DIV>
<DIV>to see if they can be helpful within our own community?<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm currently writing and illustrating a few books for children</DIV>
<DIV>Just finished an interactive board book </DIV>
<DIV>a story about a worm and his adventure with birds.</DIV>
<DIV>there are holes punched in so children can use their own finger to "be the worm."<BR>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>if they paint a little face on their finger - all the better!</DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>Some of these are "cross-cultural" and could be used with any language</DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>or printed without words at all for the story teller to ad-lib.</DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>Wyandotte Nation has be been ordering blank board books with sticky sheets</DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>that can be run through the printer with any language.</DIV>
<DIV class=ecxgmail_quote>I have many ideas but its all volunteer work and takes mega-time.</DIV>
