Outreach to Native Americans
by Pine W 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

Hi US Wikimedians, GLAM specislists, and educators, One of our interests in Cascadia is increasing the amount of Native American content on Wikimedia. Do any other groups have experience collaborating with Native American tribes, cultural organizations such as GLAMs that focus on Native American content, or educators that teach Native American languages, history, or culture? Thanks, Pine
