Cherokee Wikipedia edition of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cherokee Wikipedia is the Cherokee language edition of Wikipedia, a free, open-content encyclopedia. Started in May 2004, it had nearly 200 articles as of June 1, 2007, making it the 187th largest Wikipedia language edition. It is also the only Wikipedia edition in an Iroquoian language.

Chad "Corntassel" Smith, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, sent a letter of his support to the Wolf Mountain Group, mentioning his support of the project.[1]
