That is interesting Rob. Here in Canada, it's already in print...in Naskapi:

I didn't think this was the first time someone had translated the Bible into a Native language. It's probably been done in such languages as Lakota before. I just found the cultural aspects of this particular conversion interesting.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Here is yet another such project:

I would think that there would be a lot of them. Not only is there a Lakota language Bible, but there is a Dakota language Bible as well.
