# Codex for Indigenous Communities

## Cultural Preservation Tool

## Currently 90% of the world’s 5000 Indigenous languages are endangered.

## What if everyone in your community could be a participant in revitalizing culture and heritage?

## Preserve and Share Your Culture

Codex is your community’s own collaboratively built, virtual museum dedicated to the preservation of culture and heritage.
Create digital stories together with your community using video, sound recordings, images, and text.

## The Story of Codex

The team at Dadavan has been collaborating with Indigenous communities for more than 15 years - and over the course of those years we’ve listened. We understand that you’re looking for strategies to support the revitalization of language and culture - tools for teaching, sharing, and learning - and were inspired to create Codex.
