<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Thanks,
Andre, I really enjoyed that article. I grew up right around the area where the
Shinnecock and Unkechaug live, and I remember being frustrated as a kid that
there was so little information about the local indigenous languages. (For
example, we were surrounded by place-names clearly drawn from these languages,
and no one could tell me what they meant.) Hopefully, that is something that
could change with this resuscitation project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>These
days, though my principal academic duties remain connected with a program
training teachers of English, I’ve just about got my department launching a new
program to train teachers of indigenous languages here in Colombia. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> Availability of resources rather
demands that we focus on still living language communities – but one hopes that
some of the extinct but reasonably well documented languages might someday be
able to get the resuscitation treatment, too. (Even if such resuscitated languages
never became widely spoken again, they might well remain valuable cultural
elements – and I work in a department of language <i>AND</i> culture. </span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Meanwhile,
though, I still look forward to learning more about Eastern Algonquian
languages from the region around where I grew up, and would welcome information
about the languages or projects to revitalize or resuscitate them (partially
because the information might be relevant and useful to my own work in
Colombia, but also just because I still want to know about these languages! </span><span
