We live at a time when native speakers are (in my opinion, justifiably)
increasingly calling for greater ownership of materials produced about their
languages, greater input into decision-making in the production of those
materials, and increasingly stating their desire to have those materials
truly usable by native speakers.

Which dictionaries of aboriginal (First Nations, etc.) languages have proven
to be most user-friendly to native speakers of those languages, and what
features of those dictionaries have made them user-friendly?


Which dictionaries are widely used (not simply purchased) by native speakers
themselves?
