Meikal, I tried Chinuk and got nothing. When I tried Chinook there were some hits, the first being to the Duployan Script (the subject of shorthands, missionaries, and syllabaries is worth a beer on its own), which wouldn't be of the slightest use. When I clicked on the "sources" field I see lots of Omniglot and Ethnolog and ISO 639 and Glottolog and OLAC and UNESCO links. Nothing useful. But none to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, which is the recognized authority for modern Chinuk, and oddly enough, how I learned Chinuk. I also tried Abenaki and got another set of useless links to ISO639:3 code points. Nothing pointing to either the Odenak or Becancour Reserves, PQ, Canada, where Western Abenaki is taught, nor to Old Town or Indian Island or Pleasant Point, Maine, USA, where Eastern Abenaki is taught. Next I tried Siksika, since I happen to have the Siksikai'powahsin series for Siksika language learners (and know the consultant to the project ), again, just a bunch of ISO 639 and similarly useless "sources". Nothing from Treaty 7, nor from the Montana located Tribe (Old Sun School, etc.). While I wouldn't mind assistance, I'd prefer the assistance of someone working in the field of teaching a native language, or with ... what do we say ... a relationship with the community.

Dear colleagues,
I think we also need further expertise for languages of the Americas.
Another online resource would be http://scriptsource.org/
