Some of the specific activities that people suggested we might become involved in included:

• Support standardizing the language as a way to ensure an endangered language will continue, by helping people understand general literacy issues
• Hold writing workshops in Aboriginal languages
• Encourage the use of environmental print in Aboriginal languages in communities
• Continue to hold our annual writing contest, but only in Aboriginal languages
• Experiment with interactive materials for children
• Plan and deliver resource development workshops, that include:
  • language tools, such as grocery shopping cards, with English on one side and the Aboriginal language on the other, that people can take with them so that the language can be learned in context. They emphasized that we should not use blank cards, since many people cannot write the language.
  • multi–media resources (computer, CD, audio, print, video, photos, etc.)
• Bring together community people, schools, adult education programs to collect and share Aboriginal literacy ideas
• Coordinate terminology workshops
• Provide support for publishing, such as publishing workshops, how to access funding, help to manage projects, and encourage more joint efforts around publishing to reduce costs
• Advocate for publishing funding to increase the numbers of Aboriginal language resources
• Develop a collection of jokes (several people commented on how much Aboriginal people enjoy jokes)
• Advocate for a clearing house of Aboriginal language materials
• Advocate for quality standards for Aboriginal language materials
