I am developing HyperCard formatted lessons for two Alaskan Native
languages. The first is an introduction to the structure of Deg Xinag
(Ingalik) verbs. The second focuses on conversational level Aleut.

I have seen HyperCard lessons for Yupik and Inuktitut (N.Baffin, Iglulik,
dialect).

I'm eager to see what other responses there will be to your question.
