The Atlas allows you to listen to various phrases spoken in many different Algonquian languages like Cree, Innu, Ojibwe, etc.
To hear a phrase, click on the markers e.g. 
on the map. Each marker
indicates where the speaker is from, and should be representative of the
language spoken in that area (see Legend). There are also two buttons in the bottom-right
of the map that play the English and French versions of the phrase.
At any time, only one phrase is shown. To change the phrase, use the two boxes in the upper-right of the map. The top one allows you to change what category of phrases you wish you listen to (for a total of 21 conversations topics), while the bottom one allows you to select a particular phrase. Categories and phrases are arranged according to a language learning progression.
You can move around on the map and zoom in to particular regions using the map controls in the upper-left.
You can download soundfiles corresponding to the languages and dialects of your choice for different categories by clicking on the 'Download' button in the bottom menu bar.
This menu bar also allows you to access a French interface, to view the map legend, suggestions for classroom use, and credits, or to find out more about how this atlas was created.
