Interesting. I've been looking up at setting up Internet-in-a-box for a what-if scenario (ex. what if people can charge their phones but have no internet access), and am amazed that you can download wikipedia in well over a hundred languages.

I wondered, after getting the key languages spoken here (English being #1 by far) about Blackfoot, but see that there is no version of Wikipedia in that language. I wonder if they have any first nations languages (and yes, I understand that it depends on volunteers writing the articles in those languages, and that they almost certainly speak English better).

There is no Ojibwe Wikipedia [1], but there is one in the incubator [2]. There are also small versions for Cree (which is in the same family) [3], and Inuktitut [4], both of which use the syllabic script.
