Here's a good one. I just spent about an hour online searching and =
didn't come up with much.
Is anyone serving Cora Indians (from Mexico) in their classes? I just =
visited a program where two families are Cora. They don't speak English =
and speak a very tiny little bit of Spanish.

I have sent e-mails to Mexican consulate and to Linguistics dept at =
University of Oregon. Ask.com preoduced a little bit of info.
It's really interesting. I did learn that only 8000 speakers of this =
language remain. And they're from the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. =
Until recently a very isolated people so their culture remained intact.

Does anyone have any interpreter/translation resources or -- what would =
be great--- a dictionary.
Ideas?

If we wanted to broaden this topic, I guess it would be, how can we =
communicate with language minority parents in family literacy to explain =
to them what we're doing and can do with them.
