The best way to get permission to work on an existing language site is to approach and collaborate with the community who started that language site. FirstVoices language sites are established by individual Indigenous organizations, on behalf of one or more communities. Each FirstVoices language site represents a dialect or group of dialects working together. Language Administrators are appointed by the organization at the time the site is established. Language Administrators are responsible for approving member registration requests, reviewing and publishing entries, and other possible tasks associated with managing and maintaining the language site.
You can may be able to find a contact information form for the Language Administrator of a given language site on their website if they have added the contact us widgetthis feature enabled, usually added on their homepage. This form will send directly to the administrator or other primary contact for that language team. This is the best person to approach when seeking permission to work on an existing language site.

At this time, you must be a registered FirstVoices user to send a message via the contact form. |
If necessary, you can also make your request via the FirstVoices support team, who will contact the organization of record for the language site on your behalf.
FirstVoices encourages communities to work together in this way as it reduces the workload on individual communities and increases access to language materials. It is important that the FirstVoices team document these extensions of permission. This ensures fairness, consistency, and transparency.
