<div><b>Anton Treuer</b>, Ph.D. History, Leech Lake Ojibwe, Assistant Professor of Ojibwe, Bemidji State University <i>will present their experiences developing the Ojibwe dictionary. </i>Ojibwe language speakers, teachers, and linguists have been working very hard to develop new materials for preservation and revitalization of the tribal language. In this presentation, Dr. Anton Treuer will detail several new and innovative initiatives that have enabled dramatic breakthroughs in Ojibwe by working across dialects, incorporating new technologies, developing new terminology, and making it all readily available for teachers, students, and advocates of the language. Participants will see a step-by-step practical guide for development of resources in their own tribal languages. Recent material developed for Ojibwe under discussion will include books to launch a new literacy initiative for Ojibwe and the development of new terminology: Aaniin Ekidong: Ojibwe Vocabulary Project, Awesiinyensag: Dibaajimowinan Ji-gikinoo’amaageng, Ojibwe in Minnesota, and others.</div>

<div><b>Kevin Scannell</b>, Ph.D. Mathematics, Director, Computer Science Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Saint Louis University, <i>will present on Irish vocabulary building & software</i><i> </i><i>and the process of community acceptance of these tools. </i>There are about 20,000 native speakers of Irish, most of whom live in scattered communities on Ireland's west coast. Like many minority and indigenous languages around the world, Irish is under immense pressure from English, especially so in the domains of computing and technology. Over the past ten years, however, a group of dedicated volunteers has produced a number of powerful software tools that allow Irish speakers to conduct their online lives almost entirely in their native language: spelling and grammar checkers, online dictionaries and thesauri, and software translations. We are fast approaching our goal of a 100% translated desktop system. In my lecture I will describe: (1) how we manage a large, purely-volunteer translation project with no funding, (2) our approach to terminology creation (3) a philosophy of community ownership of developed resources, based on free and open source software (4) several initiatives we've begun to share tools and data with minority and indigenous languages around the world.</div>

<div><b>Joseph Erb</b>, Cherokee Nation Cultural Specialist, Animator, and <b>Roy Boney, Jr. </b>(Cherokee), award winning filmmaker, artist, and new media specialist <i>will present on the implementation of the Cherokee localization software in the Cherokee Nation Immersion School</i>. Technology adoption and its implementation into every day life is quickly becoming one of the defining factors of successfully navigating the social structures of society. To be ignorant of how to use technology and not understanding the underlying philosophies of modern media such as Twitter, Facebook, instant messaging, blogging, wikis, etc., one will quickly be left behind. Cherokees have historically been successful at adapting technologies to suit our needs, and the same remains in today’s modern society. The development of technologies such as Unicode has allowed our language to be useful in written and audio formats. This presentation will discuss the history of the Cherokee in regards to technology, how technology is being used in modern Cherokee classrooms and communities, and a discussion of future possibilities.</div>
