The Digital Archive of Indigenous Language Persistence (DAILP) is a community-based digital archive created to support indigenous peoples’ knowledge, interpretations, and representations of the past.  DAILP is building a collaborative online space to facilitate communications between indigenous language learners, speakers, and scholars. Their inaugural collection Cherokees Writing the Keetoowah Way includes translations of letters, funeral notices, stories, and speeches and other written materials in a syllabary invented by Sequoyah in the late 1810s and early 1820s.
