A specialized practice of Broussard & Dube

Connecting generations through living language.

Language carries stories, relationships, humor, history, identity, knowledge, and ways of understanding the world. Technology can help pass it on.

Continua — Connecting Generations Through Living Language

Technology in service of language

Continua partners with Indigenous communities to create digital tools that help language and cultural knowledge continue moving from one generation to the next.

What we create

Tools shaped around each community.

Our role is to listen, understand what the community wants to accomplish, and build technology that helps make that vision possible.

01

Interactive books

See the language, hear fluent speakers, and interact directly with words and passages.

02

Mobile language apps

Accessible resources for vocabulary, practice, and everyday use—wherever learners are.

03

Digital dictionaries

Words, definitions, audio, images, examples, and cultural context in one searchable resource.

04

Community archives

Community-controlled systems for audio, video, photographs, documents, stories, and knowledge.

05

Traditional place names

Interactive maps connecting language, geography, history, audio, and community knowledge.

06

Custom projects

When the right tool does not exist, we can build it alongside the community it will serve.

Walking alongside communities

Built around partnership.

Communities hold the language. Elders and fluent speakers hold knowledge technology cannot create. Educators understand their learners. Families understand how language lives in their homes.

Our job is to provide the technical expertise to help those voices travel farther.

Not technology replacing people.
Technology helping people connect.
