This toolbox is the result of a partnership during the "Atikamekw Knowledge, Culture and Language in Wikimedia Project" that saw the creation of the Wikipetcia Atikamekw Nehiromowin, officially launched last June, where experienced Wikimedians from Wikimedia Canada partnered with local indigenous peoples from the Atikamekw communities as well as researchers to document the project. Those researchers are the authors of this toolbox, but nothing could have been possible without the great participation from Atikamekw contributors. You can learn more about the Atikamekw Project there:

The second thing I wanted to tell you is the official recognition of a new user group by the Wikimedia Affiliates Committee: the Wikimedians of North American Indigenous Languages User Group. You can see the user group's page on meta there:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_North_American_Indigenous_Languages_User_Group.
The mission of the user group is to support the creation and development of Wikimedia projects and other
language-related free initiatives in indigenous languages of North
America by creating a network of peer to peer collaboration among the
North America indigenous peoples on Wikimedia projects, providing help
and technical support from experienced Wikimedians, and developing
education material about creating new Wikimedia projects in the
indigenous and smaller languages' context
Anybody interested in any of those topics are invited to contact me.
