Language Geek has some great fonts that you can download for almost any of the North American Indigenous languages. Now to be able to input all the characters correctly you need to use the proper keyboard mapping, which you can also download at language geek. There are files for both Windows and Mac and instructions to use them.
Many youth are expected to use computers either in school or in work. It would be ideal if they could be using the computers in their own language. Fortunatly with people creating Aboriginal Fonts, with programs like gettext, and Open Source Projects like GNOME Translation Project, it makes it easier to create a computing environment where Indigenous languages can be used.
