These teachers are able to speak in Spanish and at least one other Indian language. Their first step is to create a written language by standardizing an alphabet and then making the alphabet coherent and uniform. If their language requires special characters that have not yet been designed for the word processor, then those characters are designed. With the help of the staff, they rework a computer keyboard to incorporate the characters and tonal accents of the new orthography. People live and work at the Center for up to three months learning to use the computer and word processor.
Indigenous educators train their peers to use the computers to record their texts.
Educators are then able to write, print, bind, and publish their own books of native language literature. They write about various topics central to indigenous life teachings. Some write about their lives, their customs, their legends, and their histories. Others write about their native natural medicine, their agriculture, or their politics. At the end of three months, they have a printed, bound book that they have written themselves in their native language.
