The contributions to this volume present ways in
which indigenous knowledge in minority communities
is sustained and how attempts are made to safeguard
endangered languages. Two recent seminars at the
Foundation for Siberian Cultures were devoted to the
discussion of community-based pedagogical
initiatives in Siberia, with comparative examples
from other parts of the world. In this volume,
scholars with backgrounds in anthropology,
linguistics and in the use of new media share their
experiences of how to design adequate learning tools
in collaboration with their native colleagues. In
their articles they discuss previous shortcomings
and limitations, with the aim of exploring future
directions for maintaining cultural diversities, not
only in Siberia, but also among many other peoples
of the world.
