Abstract
In this contribution, we'll briefly review the
 synergistic relation between different types of media
 (e.g. digital) in contemporary contexts as strategies
 to strengthen native languages, a project that the
 Acervo Digital de Lenguas Indígenas (ADLI-CIESAS)
 has developed for over two decades, promoting
 reading and oral expression in native languages via
 a multimedia and multimodal approach, resulting in
 more effective and affective forms of revitalization,
 maintenance and linguistic and cultural development.
 Over the years, the project has developed and
 continues to develop successful revitalization paths in
 an ever-threatening language context, a bastion of this
 being the collaborative work with intercultural groups
 of researchers, activists, artists and educators, among
 others, in diverse regions in Mexico. These include the
 Maya region in the Yucatan Peninsula, more recently
 the Baja California Peninsula, with Yuman languages,
 such as Pai Pai and Kumiay, and even North American
 languages -e.g. Fox, Ojibwe-, the Nahuas of different
 regions and Mixtecs of Oaxaca and Guerrero, Huave
 of Oaxaca, Hñahñu of Hidalgo, and others niches of
 opportunity in these and other indigenous enclaves,
 together with developing language revalorization
 work for mainstream society.
