Indigenous languages on twitter

[Kevin Scannell]

Hi LaToya,
   The main page lists the languages that are currently supported (38
languages):
 http://indigenoustweets.com/

   If you click on any of the rows in that table, for instance the row for
Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwe, you'll be taken to a new page
that looks like this:
 http://indigenoustweets.com/oj/

 This lists all of the people tweeting in the Ojibwe.

I can in theory add any language to the system.   Send me an
email if you'd like your language to be added - I'd be happy to
do so!

Slán,
Kevin
