Pioneering a New Era of Indigenous Language Preservation

Our Mission

The Indigenous Wordspring Initiative aims to preserve and revitalize Indigenous languages through innovative solutions. We believe that language carries the soul of a people, and every word preserved is a step toward cultural continuity.

Our mission focuses on three core pillars: preservation, empowerment, and driving of future growth, bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and modern accessibility. We foster continuous innovation and collaboration to expand our support to more languages, ensuring richer documentation and dynamic learning experiences for generations to come.

Our Approach

We combine cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithms with authentic Indigenous language resources, working closely with native speakers to ensure accuracy and cultural appropriateness. Our approach delivers the highest accuracy in the topic of low-resource language translation, with methodology soon to be published in an upcoming paper.

Every translation is powered by curated language pairs that preserve not just words, but the cultural meanings and spiritual significance embedded in the languages.

Languages We Support

Lakota

The language of the Lakota people, rich with spiritual and cultural significance.

Cherokee

One of the most documented Indigenous languages of North America.

Navajo

The most widely spoken Indigenous language in North America.

Our Commitment

We are committed to working closely with Indigenous communities, guaranteeing that our technology serves and honors cultural protocols. We believe in community-driven development and the importance of native voices.

The preservation of languages is not just about maintaining communication—it's about preserving entire worldviews, traditional knowledge systems, and the cultural identity of peoples.
