Aboriginals had no writing system so there would be no keyboards.
That should be a signal as to how 'far apart' colonialists and aboriginals were with respect to development of cultural institutions.
The writing you see in this post is invented by a Canadian-English Methodist Priest in the mid 10th (Edit: 19th century obviously!) century for the benefit of the aboriginals. The system, in current terms is itself 'firmly colonialist' (I'm sure someone will cynically characterize it as a form of oppression).
That said, it'd be cool to see Cree keyboards.
In fact, making a 'Cree Keyboard' might have been a much more practical use of the authors time, and might have actually more materially affected young people's ability to learn Cree.
Come to think of it, there really should be such keyboards available ...
