  Let me mention SSILA's Ken Hale Prize:

       The Ken Hale Prize is presented annually by 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 LSA's Kenneth
       Hale Book Award) honors those who strive to link the academic and
       community spheres in the spirit of Ken Hale. Recipients can range from
       native speakers and community-based linguists to academic specialists,
       and may include groups or organizations. No academic affiliation is
       necessary.

  Info & procedure for nominations are on the SSILA website
  <http://www.ssila.org/>, click on "SSILA Award Winners".

  SSILA is always eager for nominations for this recognition, especially
  of folks that we might not hear about through the linguistics social
  network.
