It appears to have been a 20 year project at Microsoft, but Windows is available in a Native American language.

Microsoft Office in Cherokee is next on their todo list.

That would be cool.
Being 2 parts Cherokee should interest me. However, I can speak more Lakota Sioux and Klingon than I can Cherokee. My last marriage was done in Cherokee by a Holy man on the res and it sounded more like Klingon to me.

Paul,

It seems you are not aware that there is no such thing as a "Native" American. The ancestors of the tribes just got here a few thousand years earlier than the rest of the bunch.

First Americans would be a more accurate nomenclature, though not actually precise.

B-)

Or as the BIA says "American Indians" Anyone born in the USA is a native... according to the Indian Nations..

I don't always agree with the BIA. Neither do a majority of the "American Indians" I know.

BTW.

The Little Big Horn?

Custer had it coming.

Too bad all those E.M.'s and horses were with him.
