The Mi’gmaq/Mi’kmaq Talking Dictionary Project is developing an Internet resource for the Mi’gmaq/Mi’kmaq language. You can take a look here.
I am particularly fond of the Songs. Native history is important to preserve, including the stories. Take a look at that section as well. Traditional culture is historically conveyed through stories.
Each headword is recorded by a minimum of three speakers. Multiple speakers allow one to hear differences and variations in how a word is pronounced. Each recorded word is used in an accompanying phrase. This permits learners the opportunity to develop the difficult skill of distinguishing individual words when they are spoken in a phrase.
Thus far they have posted over 3500 headwords, a majority of these entries include two to three additional forms. More will be added as they are recorded. Words on the site are considered complete today.
