NA lanugages and multi-media

Are there any tribes/nations using computers (especially multi-media) to
teach their languages?

I am working toward putting the Potawatomi language into a cd-rom
interactive instruction program, and would like to know of anything that
has already been done.

If it's not too much trouble, could replies on this be posted quickly?
I'd like to use the information in a presentation I make at a conference
May 20th.

Sorry about the triple posting.

Hello,

My apologies to the list if the message I'm responding to didn't come
from this list. An individual working on a Potowatomi language interactive
CD-Rom posted a message expressing the desire to contact other people working
on similar native language projects. If that person (or anyone else) would
like info on the ongoing Winnebago language project (we are currently using
Hypercard but will be moving into CD-Rom) please contact us at:

sshigley@macc.wisc.edu

Best Wishes,
