During the month of June an educational project has been organised in collaboration with local teachers and a linguist, Kiackw, in the Atikamekw reserve of Manawan, Quebec. Students from the Otapi High School on the reserve have been taught how to contribute to Wikipedia and a section in Atikamekw has been created in the Cree Wikipedia. By the end of the project a total of 8 articles have been written and proofread by the "language keeper" of the Atikamekw community, a Wikipedia that had no article prior to this project. An experienced Wikipedian, Amqui, coordinated to on-wiki set up, so teachers and students can focus on producing content.
