Hoi,
I had a look and Kaingang has been recognised as a language, its code is
kgp. The place to make your request is on Meta. There are some requirements
for new languages, among them is a need for the localisation of the most
important messages for MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia. You can
start on the incubator, when there is a sufficiently big corpus and when
there is continued cooperation on the new project, a new Wikipedia will be
added in time. :)
Thanks,
GerardM

> I appreciate that you could help us in this endeavor to succeed.
> Next week we met (myself, with three volunteers students with about 20
> Kaingang teachers, in the largest Indian reservation of them, called
> Guarita, to give way to questions related to this proposal).
> I await your comments.
