<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14pt'>I’ve forwarded your request to Dr. Dimas Bautista Iturrizaga, of the Jaqaru group of South America. He is an elder (just completed 92) and is working to leave a heritage for youngerr learners, and a library of Jaqaru works for them to read and to listen to. There is also a young man who is just getting involved with the work. Among the Jaqaru speaking school teachers they also are working in this direction. Some of their work can be seen on txupi.org.; some they produced as a result of in-service courses they took with me.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck with your thesis. We will want to know of it when it is completed.<BR>

I'm Montgomery Hill, a member of the Tuscarora tribe of the Haudenosaunee confederacy, and a student writing my undergrad thesis on 'The Use of Modern Technology in Language Revitalization Projects: Applications, Benefits and Concerns'. <BR>
<BR>
It is a cross-disciplinary study in Computer Science and Linguistics, exploring (as the tentative title describes) use of technology, and any sort of thoughts a given community and project members have about the use of various technologies (for example, web based dictionaries, television shows, learning software, and so on).<BR>
<BR>
Basically, I'm looking for people from other Indigenous Language Communities to share a short email dialogue with about their Language Revitalization Projects use of technology, and what sort of benefits or issues they have seen arise from that use!<BR>
<BR>
Nya:weh for your time,<BR>
