The forced migration of French-speaking Acadians, Wabanaki tribes, and Loyalist refugees have rarely been considered in relationship with one another. Yet their principal movements centered on the Northeastern Borderlands of North America (bounded by Nova Scotia, Maine, and Quebec), and their interconnected movements spiked from the 1750s to the 1830s. This comparative assessment shows that while each of these coerced mobilities had distinctive qualities, large-scale population movement was the most basic foundation of colonialismss. Acadian, Loyalist, and Wabanaki movements shaped one another and were often associated with violence and trauma. At the same time, mobility offered opportunities and could nurture resilience. The legacies of forced migration in the Northeastern Borderlands during an early period of sustained warfare persist today, especially in the legal cases, artwork, and collective memory of Wabanaki people, who still live in their traditional homeland.

This chapter suggests tools and skills that a language revitalizer might need when incorporating new technology into language revitalization. It emphasizes that skills can be acquired gradually on the basis of current needs. Technology should be integrated appropriately into language teaching, with an iterative process for evaluating which tools are the right ones for the job. Issues around privacy and safety (particularly important when working with children) and ownership (which has historically affected Indigenous and minority communities disproportionately) are addressed. Appropriate use of technology in revitalization contexts is discussed, with examples of apps that may be useful for particular purposes and domains. Much of what can be accomplished with technology is best seen as an extension of learning, and one should always choose the resource to match the need, rather than being driven by the technology. The capsules describe the applications of video documentation in Passamaquoddy to new language revival projects; lessons learned from the development of online resources in Welsh; and the digital inclusion initiative Rising Voices.
