When I created this blog to go along with the Indigenous Tweets site, the idea was to share ideas about using and promoting our languages online.

A number of people have agreed to do this and I hope the first interview will be posted in the next few days!
In the meantime, here are a few more site updates. I've added eleven new languages since the last blog post, bringing the total to 82. Here are the new ones:
I also did a few video interviews about the site last week - I was on the Al Jazeera program "
The Stream", the
Brian Lehrer Show, and "Ciencia Salud Y Tecnología" on NTN24 (video link coming). To keep up with the latest news, be sure to follow us on Twitter:
