Multi-dialect learner's dictionary

We are currently working to create a free, easy-to-use, multi-dialect learner's dictionary for Nuu-wee-ya', using a companion software to ILDA offered by National Breath of Life.

As part of this plan, we will be creating a editorial board with representation from Nuu-wee-ya' teachers from across Oregon and Northern California. Stay tuned for news on that launch!
