For a few years an interest of mine has been the possibility of Wikimedians collaborating with North American indigenous peoples to educate the public about North American indigenous languages, cultures, histories, and religions.
In 2014, the *Signpost *published a report https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-07-02/WikiProject_report regarding English Wikipedia's WikiProject Indigenous Peoples of North America.
In 2016, a keynote speaker at WikiConference North America was Stanley Rodriguez, a member of the Santa Ysabel Band of the Iipay Nation and an instructor of the Kumeyaay language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumeyaay_language.
In February 2018, the Affiliations Committee recognized the Wikimedians of North American Indigenous Languages User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_North_American_Indigenous_Languages_User_Group.
Last week, those of us who participated in a United States Wikimedians meeting had a brief discussion about the new user group.
I am grateful that there is interest in this subject among a variety of Wikimedians in North America.
Perhaps you are wondering what the word "ullaakuut" means. It is a greeting in Inuktitut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuktitut. (Experts in the language are welcome to correct me or to provide additional information.)
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any language.
