Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized the Wikimedians of North American Indigenous Languages User Group [1] as a Wikimedia User Group. The group aims to support the creation and development of Wikimedia projects and other language-related free knowledge initiatives in the indigenous languages of North America.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
Regards, Kirill Lokshin Chair, Affiliations Committee

This is a great news, thank you Kirill, and all member of this group for their work of unvaluable importance regarding language diversity.
Are they any plane to collect traditional tales and songs in addition to Lingua Libre sessions?
By the way, I see we have Atikamekw https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Atikamekw_language courses on Wikiversity, altough it seems more like a stub. I think it would be interesting to have an evaluation matrix of languages courses we have in Wikimedia projects, and it might be a good idea to coordinate efforts around language courses. Actually I think it could be an interesting path to both attract new contributors and provide people opportunity to have meaningful practical use of what they learn, if each lesson could be matched with some text to translate extracted from some of our Wiki projects. What is your opinion about that?
Cheers

I had proposed to create a project called WikiLang to teach languages on a Wikimedia platform, but it didn't attract enough attention so I moved the content to the Wikiversity and that's what you see there with the Atikamekw language.
