NATIVE
LANGUAGE
Here are some of the
On-line resources for Native Language from K-Net Services:
Oji-Cree
Translation Dictionary
The Oji-Cree English
Translation dictionary will be an online resource for the First
Nations in the Sioux Lookout District. The vision of the dictionary
will be to have a dynamic database which will reference English,
Oji-Cree, syllabics, pictures, and sounds. The dictionary is still
in the developmental stages.
If you would like to
see the basic prototype of the dictionary, you can see it at:
www.knet.ca/webdata
Hint: Leave the all
the choices blank and click on SEARCH to see ALL the existing
words in the prototype.
Legends
The legends site has
native legends from Northwestern Ontario. They are available in
text and sound both in Oji-Cree and English. See the site at:
http://legends.knet.on.ca/
Syllabic
Fonts
Some of the pages on
the K-Net site are viewable in syllabics. To view the syllabics
properly you must download the following file that has the fonts
needed.
There are 4 true type fonts in a self-extracting file that will
be copied to your windows font directory. It should take less
than 30 seconds to download the file to your computer.
Here is
an example of what the fonts look like:
Download

a test of the fonts
