Kuwiinganeewalohmwa (greeting in Lunaape/Delaware)
I am new to the List Serve and I am hoping this email reaches all those on the
list - if not would someone be so kind as to forward this message.

My name is Bruce Stonefish, I am Lunaape from the Delaware Nation (a Lunaape
reserve) in Canada.
I am a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  I am
currently thinking of doing my doctoral work in looking at the preservation
efforts of the Lunaape Language - I am generally concerned with the
presevation of the cultural philosophy of the language.  I am hoping through
this list serve that I might find some networking resources.  I am looking for
peoples interested in Lunaape/Delaware Language preservation.  I do not have a
linguistical background and I am also looking for some key resources that
discuss Native language preservation - theory, practices, etc.
If you know of any reading that you feel may be essential to my work could you
please lend a hand in forwarding them to me. (Articles, author, researchers,
books, etc)  I am looking for any research/discourse pertaining to cutlural
worldview survival and revitalization through language.  I am sure that those
of other languages can help me in enormous ways.
You can email me directly at stonefbr at gse.harvard.edu
