* Nominations solicited for the Ken Hale Prize
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>From Akira Yamamoto (akira at ku.edu) 10 Feb 2003:

The Ken Hale Prize is presented annually by the Society for the Study of
Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) in recognition of outstanding
community language work and a deep commitment to the documentation,
maintenance, promotion, and revitalization of indigenous languages in the
Americas.  The Prize (which carries a small monetary stipend and is not to
be confused with the Linguistic Society of America's Kenneth Hale Book
Award) will honor those who strive to link the academic and community
spheres in the spirit of Ken Hale, and recipients will range from native
speakers and community-based linguists to academic specialists, and may
include groups or organizations.  No academic affiliation is necessary.

Nominations for the award may be made by anyone, and should include a
letter of nomination stating the current position and affiliation, if
appropriate, of the nominee or nominated group (tribal, organizational, or
academic), and a summary of the nominee's background and contributions to
specific language communities.  The nominator should also submit a brief
portfolio of supporting materials, such as the nominee's curriculum vitae,
a description of completed or ongoing activities of the nominee, letters
from those who are most familiar with the work of the nominee (e.g.
language program staff, community people, academic associates), and any
other material that would support the nomination.  Submission of
manuscript-length work is discouraged.

The 2003 Ken Hale Prize will be announced at the next annual meeting of
SSILA, in Boston, in January 2004.  The other members of this year's
selection committee are Sara Trechter and Colette Grinevald.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is September 30, 2003.

The nomination packet should be sent to the chair of the Committee:

                    Akira Y. Yamamoto
                    Department of Anthropology
                    University of Kansas
                    Fraser Hall 622
                    1415 Jayhawk Blvd.
                    Lawrence, KS 66045-7556

Nominations will be kept active for two subsequent years for prize
consideration, and nominators are invited to update their nomination
packets if so desired.  Inquiries can be e-mailed to Akira Yamamoto at
