Recalling Claudia's proposal to make a priority languages list for
Sugar translations, here in Perú I did an informal survery with the
team of the Dirección de Lenguas Indígenas del Ministerio de Cultura,
and noticing we already have Quechua, Aymara and Awajún, they
suggested (in no specific order):
- Ashaninka http://bdpi.cultura.gob.pe/pueblo/ashaninka
- Wampis http://bdpi.cultura.gob.pe/pueblo/wampis
- Shipibo http://bdpi.cultura.gob.pe/pueblo/shipibo-konibo
Let's add Cherokee, possibly Navajo and Lakota?
To better word a phrase I wrote in another thread:
I do believe the mere possibility of attaining fluency in technology and
properly appropriable informatics holds the promise to empower native
cultures to better cope with modernity and even assume leadership in it.
Is someone managing such list already?

Not that unusual; I've seen a few fundraising emails like this from time to
time.
More interesting (at least having worked for them) is that they moved from
a portion of the 11th floor of a building in Miami to a single room on the
3rd to a new building entirely.
Doubly interesting is that the building they moved into happens to be the
same as the Knight Foundation
http://www.knightfoundation.org/about/contact/
I do not know if there is a correlation.

I have contacted people from the Crow here in MT and Objibway in another state.
You have to deal with the Tribal Councils and they are really to busy to deal
with things like this.
As I said before, to be successful in the USA you have to work bottom up. Start with the
classroom teachers. Convince them that this will make their jobs easier and that their
students may score better on their Standardized Tests and that it is totally free, easy
to integrate into the curriculum, and fun for the students and you will have a
"winner."

While Laura proposed to prioritize these in the context of promoting Sugar on
the broader US community, I offer that the experience of localizing Sugar for
these groups is a goal in itself, as a learning experience for further work. As
the article explains, there is wisdom embedded in the words of the languages of
peoples who have lived in these territories for thousands of years. This is
part of humanity's legacy and should not be lost.
I do believe the mere possibility fluency in technology and properly
appropriable informatics has the power to empower native cultures to better
cope with modernity and even assume leadership in it.
Perhaps we can learn from them how to exist under a dominant culture
(proprietary software).
The dominant culture has everyone engulfed in a dreamspell that makes it hard
to see what is important.
That said, for sure, Sugarizer should be part of what gets translated when we
discuss translating Sugar.
Does anyone in these lists have contact with native north-american people? Have
we heard from the Mexican language efforts? I would ping some contacts for US
based natives if there could be support for achieving this.
Regards,
Sebastian
PS: do read, if you can, the linked article it is quite enlightening
