Hello there, 
My name is Katherine Creelman and I am an undergraduate linguistics student at the University of Alberta, Canada. I am currently taking an Endangered Languages class and am required to complete a term project on any endangered language - for the purpose of this class, that is defined as a level 6-8 based on ethnologue.com. At this point, I am open to any language with a speaker that I could complete an interview with- either over Skype or simply email. 
If you have any interest in this whatsoever, please do not hesitate to email me at kcreelma at ualberta.ca. 
Thanks for your time, 
Katherine Creelman

Heritage Month 2013 Honoree

Tuesday, October 29, 2013

On a bright and clear weekend morning in early October, there’s a flutter
of activity at San Diego’sTecolote Nature
Center<http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/osp/tecolote/index.shtml>
as
staff get ready for an annual family activity, “Baskets and Botany.” The
one-day event, which has been held there since the mid-'90s, is a day for
families to share the environmental and cultural connections of Tecolote
Canyon.

This request unclear on whom she's requesting to interview when she states
"...any language with a speaker...".  There should be plenty of people who
researched/studied Indig. languages and know which ones are endangered but
many are not speakers of those languages; then if she means someone who is
currently a speaker, many native languages with this status have only few
elders who still speak them and, for the most part, they do not get on
computers, see this list serve and therefore, might not see this request
nor might not use email or have equipment for skype.

Just a thought if this request is to get any results, perhaps another
method of obtaining a volunteer could be more productive?

Hello.

We have recently exported our Lexique Pro dictionary to disc. In the process or since doing that, I cannot access our original, editable dictionary. The export seems to have replaced it with the exported version (intended for our learners and without the ability to edit or duplicate).

Does anybody have any insight as to how I can recover the original, editable dictionary? Or, can you please direct me to someone who does? 

Thank you.

Hi Natalie,

   I don't really know anything about Lexique Pro, but if there's some

something usable.

Hi Natalie,

The original file should still be safe in your Toolbox data folder, and
LexiquePro should have created its own version elsewhere. In any case, it
is a good thing to alert other users to the possibility that files can get
changed when processing them so you need to keep backups regularly and
especially before doing any kind of editing or conversion to new formats.

Saving the language of the Lakota

Tue Nov 5

Like many members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation,
high school senior Kristian Big Crow never spoke his native Lakota language
as a child. With only 6,000 fluent Lakota speakers left in the world, there
are few opportunities for young Lakota students like Big Crow to learn the
language. Which is precisely why teachers and administrators at Red Cloud
Indian School, located just outside the town of Pine Ridge, spent the last
five years developing the nation’s first comprehensive K-12 Lakota language
curriculum.

Today, Lakota is spoken frequently across Red Cloud’s campus—and a new
generation of fluent Lakota speakers is emerging. Students like Big Crow
say learning Lakota has provided a deeper connection to Native identity.

“I was completely frightened to speak Lakota when I came to Red Cloud my
freshman year. But I feel so much more confident now,” explains Big Crow.
“Now even when I’m in Rapid City, my brother and I make a point of speaking
the language to each other. It makes us feel proud to be Lakota. Because of
the language program at Red Cloud, I have a better understanding of my
culture.”

By ADAM COTTERELL <http://boisestatepublicradio.org/people/adam-cotterell>

This new kindergarten classroom on eastern Idaho’s Fort Hall Indian
Reservation looks and feels much like any other. Tiny tables and chairs
fill the room, bright drawings and artwork hang on the walls, and small
coats hang on low-to-the-ground hooks. It’s the sound of the classroom
that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

About 30 five-and-six-year-olds are learning to speak Shoshone.

Written by Mike Wessler, Governor Steve Bullock’s Office

HELENA, Mont. – Imagine browsing through your smartphone’s “App Store” and
being able to download a talking dictionary that includes phrases such as
“Shoo daa chii?” (“How are you?” in Apsáalooke) or “Ginnehayen” (“Thank
you” in Aa Nii).

Well, thanks to the start of a comprehensive effort to preserve Indian
languages in Montana, you may soon be able to do just that.

Governor Steve Bullock, Department of Commerce Director Meg O’Leary and
Director of Indian Affairs Jason Smith today announced the award of $2
million in funds to Montana’s tribal governments for language preservation
efforts through the Montana Indian Language Preservation Pilot Program
(MILP3).

just awarded $2 million to tribes in his state to support their language

Residents at the remote community of Areyonga are anxious about how their
hard fought bilingual program will survive cuts to education

As teachers across the Territory take strike action today to protest the
government's cuts to education, the school at Areyonga will quietly go
about its business.

The small community primary school will remain open today, educating the
children of the community via the 'two-ways' model which teaches literacy
in the children's first language of Pitjantjatjara.

Areyonga Primary School is one of the only schools in Central Australia
with an accredited bilingual program, but it didn't come easily.

*Globalization damaging smaller languages*

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI, Nov 12 – Speakers at a national seminar on ‘Endangered Cultures
and Dialects with Special Reference to North East India’ voiced concern
over the waning influence of indigenous languages and dialects on their
peoples, pushing in the processmany such languages and cultures into
oblivion.

The speakers were unanimous in their view that the rapidly expanding cult
of globalization with its thrust on an all-pervasive mono cultural identity
was particularly damaging for the smaller languages and dialects. This, the
speakers said, was negating the right of the diverse cultures to exist and
thrive.

The 44th Annual National Indian Education Association Convention and Trade
Show was held this year in Rapid City, South Dakota from October 30 to
November 2. Teachers, administrators and policy makers came together to
teach, learn and continue building the road to sovereignty and
self-determination.

“The emphasis of the whole conference is with your education, to help your
people,” said Connie Twins, Hidatsa/Mandan, who participated in a language
preservation workshop. “Learn your language and find out more ways to reach
them and teach them, and pass on what we know.”

War of the WordsThe politics and power struggles of language preservation
By MATTHEW J. WATSON<http://www.thecrimson.com/writer/1208445/Matthew_J._Watson/>,
CRIMSON STAFF WRITER

10 hours ago

This past April, Daniel Pedro Mateo went missing from the small Guatemalan
village of El Quetzal. His kidnappers demanded a ransom of 150,000
quetzals, about $19,000, from Mateo’s family. Nine days later, his mangled
body was found near his home village of Santa Eulalia.

Mateo was an outspoken activist on behalf of his native Q’anjob’al people,
a Maya group that lives in western Guatemala. In addition to campaigning
against various acts of what activists termed environmental
exploitation—such as a massive dam that would have displaced numerous Maya
people from their homeland—Mateo’s activism also extended to preserving his
native tongue. He was one of the founders of Snuq Jolom Konob, a bilingual
radio station with broadcasts in both Spanish and Q’anjob’al—a subversive
act in a country where indigenous languages are said to represent a threat
to the hegemony of the hispanohablante.

For Annie Gagliardi, a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard’s Linguistics
Department, Mateo’s death hit close to home. Much of her work focuses on
languages of the Caucasus and Guatemala, and she had previously done
research in Guatemala with Mateo's cousin, another linguistics postdoc at
Harvard. Mateo was murdered a few weeks before Gagliardi was scheduled to
return to Guatemala and meet him. “It’s a frightening pattern,” Gagliardi
says. “Here are these languages you care about, these communities you care
about, and the people fighting for them—they’re targets.”

*Language nests: a way to revive Indigenous languages at risk*

More than 90% of Australia’s Indigenous languages are critically endangered
and two-thirds of those languages spoken a hundred years ago are now
dormant. The seeds of the current situation were sown long ago, even before
English was widespread in remote communities and Aboriginal children went
to school.

Genocide, forced population removal, disease, stolen children, and
community disruption — all of these have contributed to the precarious
state of Indigenous languages today. Meanwhile, most Australian educational
policies have been apathetic at best towards fostering Indigenous language
use in schools.

Some states are making strides, such as New South Wales, which last month
launched the first of five community-runlanguage nests aimed at saving
Indigenous languages. Meanwhile, other states and territories, like the
Northern Territory, have begun winding back Indigenous language initiatives.

Tlingit ventriloquism, a way to keep the language aliveBy Lisa Phu
Posted on November 14, 2013 at 9:41 pm

[media link available]

Like many other indigenous languages, Tlingit is in survival mode.
Revitalizing the language was the focus of this year’s Tlingit Tribes and
Clans Conference
<http://ankn.uaf.edu/ClanConference2/course/view.php?id=5> held
in Juneau last week.

A Juneau resident has one solution for how to keep the language alive.
During a conference session, realtor and assemblyman Carlton Smith gave
participants a lesson in how to teach Tlingit to children with puppets. And
he does it with the help of a special guest.

Awakening the Language & Culture of Ancient Maya
Posted by Miguel Vilar on November 14, 2013

It is estimated that by 2100, more than half of the 7,000 languages spoken
on Earth will have disappeared. Throughout human history, languages have
come and gone, but the rate at which languages are disappearing has
accelerated dramatically in recent years.

Why does it matter?

National Geographic’s Enduring Voices
project<http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/enduring-voices/>,
which is documenting endangered languages, reminds us that each time the
planet loses a language, humanity loses an important piece of its cultural
identity. Many of the most vulnerable languages have yet to be written down
because their culture and traditions are passed down orally.

One of the primary goals of the Genographic
Project<https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/> is
to gather and analyze research data in collaboration with indigenous and
traditional peoples around the world. Recognizing the importance of
preserving indigenous languages and traditions, the Genographic Project
developed the Genographic Legacy Fund (GLF) in 2005. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the Geno 2.0 DNA Kits goes to the GLF, which
distributes grants to indigenous and traditional communities requesting
support for cultural and language revitalization projects. To date, 75
grants totaling more than $2 million have gone towards community-led
projects.

Women Reclaim Cultural Knowledge in Northwestern Amazonia
Posted: 11/12/2013 4:44 pm

An hour before dawn, we landed at a small airstrip deep in the mountains of
the Colombian Amazon. This remote forest -- ringing with the sounds of
frogs, monkeys and parrots --seemed surreal, as did my reason for visiting.
Over the next five days, I would photograph the annual conference of the
region's female indigenous healers.

I traveled with Liliana Madrigal, Senior Director of Program Operations for
the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) <http://www.amazonteam.org/>. Thanks to
nearly two decades of work with the region's indigenous communities, ACT
was asked to help organize a gathering of the region's women healers in
2004. Called ASOMI, short for *Asociacion de Mujeres Indigenas*, the
meeting was the first of its kind and presented a unique opportunity. After
years of cultural oppression from missionaries and increasing exploitation
of their forest, these women shamans and healers could now share -- and
therefore rebuild -- their traditional ecological and medicinal knowledge.

The USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

announces openings for Full-Time Non-Tenure-Track Positions in Writing

 

 

The USC Writing Program in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and 
Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks qualified applicants for 
full-time non-tenure-track teaching positions—Lecturer, Senior 
Lecturer, Master Lecturer, Assistant Professor (Teaching), Associate 
Professor (Teaching), and Professor (Teaching)—to join our faculty 
beginning Fall 2014.

 

The Writing Program teaches courses that fulfill the undergraduate 
writing requirement in a context informed by the rhetorical tradition, 
process theory, and ethical discursive practices. First-year courses 
develop students' writing and critical reasoning skills within 
thematic contexts. Advanced courses, composed primarily of juniors and 
seniors, bring students together based on their academic interests and 
career goals, addressing writing in different disciplines for various 
audiences. Small class sizes in both first-year and upper-level 
courses facilitate a workshop model of instruction, frequent 
one-on-one and small-group conferencing, and an emphasis on the 
writing process.

 

Full-time non-tenure-track faculty teach three sections each semester, 
for which they will develop syllabi and assignments in accordance with 
program guidelines. The Writing Program also provides significant 
opportunities for professional growth and development. Faculty are 
eligible to participate in program, college, and university 
governance. New faculty will join a vibrant community of teachers, 
writers, and scholars composed of faculty and graduate students from a 
range of disciplines.

 

The Writing Program hopes to hire faculty interested in making a 
career of teaching writing at USC. Initial appointments are 
fixed-term, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance 
and review by the program faculty, its directors, and the college 
deans. Dornsife provides opportunities for promotion based on 
demonstrated teaching excellence and service to the program, school, 
and university.

 

Qualifications

 

Candidates should have a PhD or other terminal degree by June 2014. We 
require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college 
level and we value familiarity with the needs of writers whose first 
language is not English. While many of our faculty have scholarly 
backgrounds in English Literature or Rhetoric and Composition, we 
welcome candidates from all fields.

 

Application Procedure

 

The deadline for applications is December 2, 2013. Applicants should 
submit a letter of application, CV, teaching evaluations and the names 
of three referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees 
will be contacted directly by USC. In order to be considered for this 
position, applicants are required to submit an electronic USC 
application; follow this job link or paste in a browser:

*Delegation to Celebrate Contributions of Code Talkers in Gold Medal
Ceremony*

Published on Thursday, 07 November 2013 15:48 Written by Media Release

WASHINGTON—Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), and
Representative Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), today announced that Native American
code talkers from eight of South Dakota’s tribes will be recognized for
their dedicated and valorous service during World War I and World War II at
a gold medal ceremony to be held at the U.S. Capitol on November 20, 2013.

The Congressional Gold Medal award is among the highest honors of
appreciation and recognition bestowed on an individual, institution, or
event by Congress. In total, 33 tribes from around the country will be
recognized, and over 200 silver medals will be presented to families of
code talkers. Thune and Johnson were cosponsors of the Senate version of
The Code Talkers Recognition Act of 2008 (H.R. 4544), which was signed into
law in October of 2008 and directed the issuance of medals to honor the
contributions of Native American code talkers during World War I and World
War II.

Sometimes we discover lexical items which need to have a restricted status within the language and academic communities. I want to be able to enter that data in my dictionary program but it must be accessible only to those who are authorized to view it.

Besides working as a lexicographer for my job, I do genealogy as a hobby. My genealogy program allows for certain kinds of information to be hidden from other viewers. I need the same ability to hide certain kinds of lexical information.

Have any of you encountered this issue before?

Hello,

what software are you currently using for your dictionary?  Fieldworks Language Explorer (FLEx) will allow you to filter out items before you export a dictionary, based on the value of pretty much any field.  So you can give items you want to hide a certain value in the "Status" field for example, or a certain value in any of several other fields that you might not be using otherwise, and then filter out anything with that value in that field.  For example, give those words a status of "private" and then filter so that items with status=private are filtered out.  Then you export your dictionary, and those words won't be included.  You would have to watch out for whether any other word's entry cross-references the words you want to hide, if you fill in fields that cross-reference other words.

This wouldn't hide the words if you gave a copy of the whole database to someone else to use on their computer, using the FLEx software.  But it would keep the words from appearing in a dictionary that you create as a pdf or other document to give copies of to someone else.

If you're also creating a text collection with translations, then it would be more complicated to hide specific words, since they might occur right in the middle of a sentence.  But I think that would be difficult no matter what software you're using, and it would only be about text collections, not the dictionary.

I suspect that other software can do this too, and it might be that FLEx wasn't the best choice for other reasons, but it can do this.

Good luck with your work,
Natasha Warner

Similar to what Natasha describes, we have a "DNP" (do not publish) checkbox on our 2 dictionary databases.  Again, that would just be for export, and would not help if you were giving the entire database to someone, or giving them access to it.

Fieldworks Language Explorer (FLEx) will allow you to filter out items before you export a dictionary, based on the value of pretty much any field.  So you can give items you want to hide a certain value in the "Status" field for example, or a certain value in any of several other fields that you might not be using otherwise, and then filter out anything with that value in that field.  For example, give those words a status of "private" and then filter so that items with status=private are filtered out.  Then you export your dictionary, and those words won't be included.  You would have to watch out for whether any other word's entry cross-references the words you want to hide, if you fill in fields that cross-reference other words.

Another alternative is to treat the set of "restricted lexical items" as a
true set (not just a bunch of material that has a particular feature for a
given field) and to manage them separately from the main lexicon. In
Toolbox (not sure how Flex does it) you would set up a separate lexicon
restricted.lex (that could have the same .typ definition as the main
lexicon). If you share your project with other people, simply leave out the
restricted.lex file.

For my work on Sasak in Indonesia I have three separate lexicons: the main
Sasak one, unintegrated Indonesian loans, and a Kawi (literary language)
lexicon. For text glossing you simply need to tell the lookup procedure to
search each lexicon in sequence for matches and to copy across relevant
data, eg. morpheme gloss, part of speech.

For lexicon export, eg. for printing, the user can choose which data files
to include in the export.

Might be worth trying this in your case.

Best,
Peter

Australia is the place of vanishing languages

By Chris Raja

Updated November 19, 2013 14:35:04

*More needs to be done to protect Indigenous languages and the culture and
heritage they represent, writes Chris Raja.*


Recently, at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney University's Dr
Michael Walsh made a significant discovery. In boxes of unpublished papers
he unearthed a 125-page dictionary of two central Australian languages –
Arrarnta and Luritja – compiled by German missionary Carl Strehlow.

Walsh has been working with Ronald Briggs, the Indigenous services
librarian at the State Library, investigating the languages used among
Indigenous Australians.

Alaska’s Tlingit code talkers will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal
today in Washington, D.C., for their contributions to World Wars I and II.

Never heard of a Tlingit code talker, you say?

While the story of Navajo code talkers who used their complex language to
help the United States military transmit secret tactical messages is
famous, it’s not unique to Pueblo Indians.

The Royal Welsh Fusiliers continue to employ Cembrophones for the same purpose. This turned out to be a problem in the Falklands war because of y Wladfa, a Welsh colony in Patagonia.

'Uy' skweyul -



*Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum*



http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/news-room/news10071301.aspx



*Project Summary*
Initiated by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, and hosted by the En’owkin
Centre <http://www.enowkincentre.ca/>, the Cultural Protocols and the Arts
Forum will facilitate meaningful and solutions-focused discussion and
sharing amongst Indigenous artists and cultural people, March 3–4, 2014, in
Penticton, British Columbia.

*Project Description*
The Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum will provide an opportunity for
approximately 50 First Nations artists, arts and culture leaders, and
community and organization representatives to meet, share and discuss work
already done to define and articulate cultural protocols and concepts of
protection, with a particular focus on supporting the current practices of
artists working in all disciplines (visual, music, dance, storytelling,
media, etc).

Participants will benefit from understanding each other’s work, and
together we will identify common concerns and priorities. The group will
explore a vision for moving forward, as well as possible models for working
together on common initiatives and actions.

The majority of participants will come from British Columbia, as well as
the rest of Canada, with a few key invited international participants.
Areas of discussion will include:
•    Defining cultural protocols
•    Models for engaging community in defining and articulating cultural
protocols
•    Models for documentation, sharing and communicating
•    Protecting traditional knowledge – the collective and the individual
•    Marks of authenticity – existing models
•    How do contemporary artists consider and navigate protocols when
making and presenting their work?
•    How do protocols accommodate the vision and practices of contemporary
experimental artists? How do we ensure we are not oppressing ourselves?
•    Differences amongst our cultures and values
•    Recommendations for future actions
•    Useful tools

*Call to Participants*
It is our intention that all attendees be contributors to the forum through
presentations, roundtable discussions and other modes of sharing.
If you would like to apply to attend, please submit:
•    Letter of interest, describing how you will contribute and how your
participation might affect your practice or the practice of FPCC artists
•    CV, bio or resume

*Costs*
The event fee is being covered for participants who are selected through
the application process. We will also provide nutrition breaks, lunch and a
cultural feast on the first evening. Travel and accommodation are the
responsibility of participants, although a financial subsidy will be
available to those who are selected and require assistance. Participants
are encouraged to apply to the Canada Council for travel grants in January.

Hello all,
Please see forwarded message. My apologies for any cross-postings.
Thank you,
Aliana Parker



Hello,

Please accept this e-postcard and brochure about our national Indian
Residential School Commemorative project, “Witness: Pieces of History.”
They are an introduction to The Witness Blanket project that we hope you
will be part of and share. Momentum is building as more and more people
take part in making this national monument to reconciliation a reality.
Inspired by a woven blanket, Master Carver Carey Newman is creating a
large-scale art installation from items reclaimed from Residential Schools,
churches, government buildings and traditional and cultural structures
including Friendship Centres, Band Offices, treatment centres and
universities, from across Canada.
The Witness Blanket will stand as a national monument to recognize the
atrocity of the Indian Residential School era, honour the children and
symbolize ongoing reconciliation.
People from all across Canada of all faiths, ethnicities and generations
are called upon to participate.  We are looking for wood, shingles, brick,
glass, metal, books, photographs and other materials from Residential
School sites and affiliated structures including churches, courthouses,
government buildings and traditional and cultural structures.  Our goal is
to collect 2,500 Pieces of History for our blanket.

*“I conceived the Witness Blanket to not only honour my father, but also to
leave a legacy for my daughter, so that her generation may continue this
journey toward healing and reconciliation” **~ Carey Newman*

As a project team, we are crossing the country, visiting each province and
territory, on Gathering Trips collecting contributions.  Recent “Pieces of
History” we’ve received range from a sandstone block from the Red Deer
Industrial School – which Canada’s first Aboriginal Lieutenant Governor
attended – to a piece of historic stained glass from the St. Mary’s Indian
Band, brought to the Kootenay’s from Italy 150 years ago.


*Here’s how you can help and be part of the project:*·         Contribute a
piece of History to the Witness Blanket
·         Promote the project within your own community or organization
·         Act as a Community Champion for the project and work with others
in your community to contribute pieces to the blanket
·         Add a link to our project website on your own community or
organization website
·         Share our project far and wide via Facebook and Twitter
·         Tell others about our work, in your community, your organization
or your family.

We are happy to support your participation in any of the ways listed above.
 If you are interested, please let us know how you would like to contribute
to the project and we can move forward from there.

If you require any further information about the Witness: Pieces of History
project please do not hesitate to contact us. You can call the office toll
free at 1 (855) 888-6998, email us at info at witnessblanket.ca <
mailto:info at witnessblanket.ca <info at witnessblanket.ca>> , visit our website
www.witnessblanket.ca <http://www.witnessblanket.ca> or follow our progress
on Facebook (Witness Blanket) and Twitter (@WitnessBlanket).

Thank you very much for your consideration!

Rosy Steinhauer
Project Coordinator
Witness: Pieces of History

PS:  If you don’t have a Piece of History to contribute yourself, please
help us spread the word and share this email and our e-postcard with your
community, your family and online.  Thank you.

I
am in the process of transcribing and translating recordings.  Currently, I am listening to these recordings
and slowly working through to create written documents of these recordings and
it is slow going.   Does anyone know if
there is currently any software available that allows live speakers, audio and/or
video recordings of endangered language speakers to be transcribed by
computer?  I am very interested in this

Native American Heritage Month — Preserving, living indigenous languages
By Andi Murphy / amurphy at lcsun-news.com @andimurphy on Twitter
POSTED:   11/23/2013 01:00:41 AM MST

Donald Pepion's parents attended boarding schools at a time when Native
Americans were not permitted to speak their language.

"It was hard to be Indian," said Pepion, a member of the Blackfeet tribe of
Montana. "So as a result of that, they didn't use the language at home a
lot. We know that in both boarding schools and mission schools kids were
abused if they tried to use their language or tried to express any of their
culture."

Through forced assimilation many tribes lost vast amounts of their culture
and language, he said.

languages
By SHERRI CRUZ <http://www.ocregister.com/reporter-profile/sherri-2291-cruz>
 / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

A small plane brought Chapman professor Pilar Valenzuela and student Priya
Shah to the village that resides along the meandering, 1,000-mile-long
Ucayali River in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

“You land in a little field of grass,” Shah said. “The airport was a piece
of metal on top of four poles.”

Valenzuela is an expert in the languages of the Shipibo (shih-pee-boe) and
Shiwilu (shih-wee-loo) people of the area. Shah and other Chapman students
went with her on one of her many work and research trips to Peru to help
her document the Shiwilu language.

While Shipibo is still spoken, learned and passed on to children, Shiwilu
is on the verge of extinction.

Greetings ILAT,

With this sad news, Mr. Kipp is greatly missed by us all.  I am fortunate to have worked along side Darrell Kipp as a board member of the Native Voices Endowment.  To many of us in the language revitalization community, he will forever be remembered for his powerful and eloquent message of radical hope on speaking and living our ancestral languages.

Life and language always,
Phil Cash Cash (Cayuse & Nez Perce)

Dear ILAT members,

I recently helped organize a panel on indigenous languages at the Canadian
Festival of Spoken Word in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The event was met with
a lot of public support and positive media attention. Here is an article
that was just published in the McGill Tribune and it expands upon many of
the topics that were brought up at the panel.

Here are some photos from the panel at the festival:

  Darrell Kipp was an inspiration to us all, and I wanted to recall some of the ways that he inspired me in particular.
  Darrel's Piegan Institute got one of the earliest grants from the Endangered Language Fund (ELF).  It was a small grant, but it was clear that it was going to an amazing project.  Darrell went on to raise much more significant funds, but it is a continuing satisfaction that ELF helped a little bit too.
  Before I even met him, Darrell inspired me.  The book that was published by the Grotto Foundation in 2000 was a manifesto for language activism, and it was a source of hope and optimism that repaid repeated visits.  "Don't ask for permission."  Every time I thought that the task of language documentation and revitalization was too big, I began to think I was asking permission to do what I wanted.  Just do it!  I know that many others have found this small book to be one of the most valuable in their collections.
  When the Lewis & Clark Expedition Bicentennial Commission was looking for ways to spend out the last of its money (obtained from the sale of the commemorative nickels), Darrell was instrumental in making sure that language was one of the two projects that eventually got endowed.  When ELF won the right to manage the language endowment, Darrell graciously agreed to be both on the Native Voices Endowment Advisory Board and also on the main ELF Board of Directors.  He served in that capacity from 2007 to 2012.  His advice continued to shape that program into the success it is today.
  Even though Darrell was already stepping back from public service during the past year or so, it is hard to imagine our public discussions of language revitalization without his forceful, convincing and timely comments--along with their frequent dollops of humor.  All of us at ELF will miss him.

I too remember
many great words of encouragement and advice from Darrell. When
I was in my early twenties we ended up being roommates at a conference and we
stayed up half the night talking.  Actually, it seemed more like I interrogated him but he was gracious and
addressed all of my questions.  When I
saw him again, I asked him if he remembered when I picked his brain that night and he told
me he vaguely remembered because I had definitely picked his brain that night and did not
leave him much left.

 
I also remember him
saying “Don’t ask for permission” and drawing attention to the dynamics and politics
of communities in order to stress the need to learn to navigate through them
better.   I think his words are still
very pertinent today.  He will be
missed.

On a bright and clear weekend morning in early October, there?s a flutter
of activity at San Diego?sTecolote Nature
Center<http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/osp/tecolote/index.shtml>
as
staff get ready for an annual family activity, ?Baskets and Botany.? The
one-day event, which has been held there since the mid-'90s, is a day for
families to share the environmental and cultural connections of Tecolote
Canyon.

This request unclear on whom she's requesting to interview when she states
"...any language with a speaker...".  There should be plenty of people who
researched/studied Indig. languages and know which ones are endangered but
many are not speakers of those languages; then if she means someone who is
currently a speaker, many native languages with this status have only few
elders who still speak them and, for the most part, they do not get on
computers, see this list serve and therefore, might not see this request
nor might not use email or have equipment for skype.

Just a thought if this request is to get any results, perhaps another
method of obtaining a volunteer could be more productive?

Hello.

We have recently exported our Lexique Pro dictionary to disc. In the process or since doing that, I cannot access our original, editable dictionary. The export seems to have replaced it with the exported version (intended for our learners and without the ability to edit or duplicate).

Does anybody have any insight as to how I can recover the original, editable dictionary? Or, can you please direct me to someone who does? 

Thank you.

Hi Natalie,

   I don't really know anything about Lexique Pro, but if there's some
structure to that exported file I might be able to help recover
something usable.

Hi Natalie,

The original file should still be safe in your Toolbox data folder, and
LexiquePro should have created its own version elsewhere. In any case, it
is a good thing to alert other users to the possibility that files can get
changed when processing them so you need to keep backups regularly and
especially before doing any kind of editing or conversion to new formats.

Saving the language of the Lakota

Tue Nov 5

Like many members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation,
high school senior Kristian Big Crow never spoke his native Lakota language
as a child. With only 6,000 fluent Lakota speakers left in the world, there
are few opportunities for young Lakota students like Big Crow to learn the
language. Which is precisely why teachers and administrators at Red Cloud
Indian School, located just outside the town of Pine Ridge, spent the last
five years developing the nation?s first comprehensive K-12 Lakota language
curriculum.

Today, Lakota is spoken frequently across Red Cloud?s campus?and a new
generation of fluent Lakota speakers is emerging. Students like Big Crow
say learning Lakota has provided a deeper connection to Native identity.

?I was completely frightened to speak Lakota when I came to Red Cloud my
freshman year. But I feel so much more confident now,? explains Big Crow.
?Now even when I?m in Rapid City, my brother and I make a point of speaking
the language to each other. It makes us feel proud to be Lakota. Because of
the language program at Red Cloud, I have a better understanding of my
culture.?

This new kindergarten classroom on eastern Idaho?s Fort Hall Indian

fill the room, bright drawings and artwork hang on the walls, and small
coats hang on low-to-the-ground hooks. It?s the sound of the classroom

About 30 five-and-six-year-olds are learning to speak Shoshone.

Well, thanks to the start of a comprehensive effort to preserve Indian
languages in Montana, you may soon be able to do just that.

Governor Steve Bullock, Department of Commerce Director Meg O?Leary and
Director of Indian Affairs Jason Smith today announced the award of $2
million in funds to Montana?s tribal governments for language preservation
efforts through the Montana Indian Language Preservation Pilot Program

Residents at the remote community of Areyonga are anxious about how their
hard fought bilingual program will survive cuts to education

As teachers across the Territory take strike action today to protest the
government's cuts to education, the school at Areyonga will quietly go
about its business.

The small community primary school will remain open today, educating the
children of the community via the 'two-ways' model which teaches literacy
in the children's first language of Pitjantjatjara.

Areyonga Primary School is one of the only schools in Central Australia
with an accredited bilingual program, but it didn't come easily.

*Globalization damaging smaller languages*

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI, Nov 12 ? Speakers at a national seminar on ?Endangered Cultures
and Dialects with Special Reference to North East India? voiced concern
over the waning influence of indigenous languages and dialects on their
peoples, pushing in the processmany such languages and cultures into
oblivion.

The speakers were unanimous in their view that the rapidly expanding cult
of globalization with its thrust on an all-pervasive mono cultural identity
was particularly damaging for the smaller languages and dialects. This, the
speakers said, was negating the right of the diverse cultures to exist and
thrive.

War of the WordsThe politics and power struggles of language preservation
By MATTHEW J. WATSON<http://www.thecrimson.com/writer/1208445/Matthew_J._Watson/>,
CRIMSON STAFF WRITER

10 hours ago

This past April, Daniel Pedro Mateo went missing from the small Guatemalan
village of El Quetzal. His kidnappers demanded a ransom of 150,000
quetzals, about $19,000, from Mateo?s family. Nine days later, his mangled
body was found near his home village of Santa Eulalia.

Mateo was an outspoken activist on behalf of his native Q?anjob?al people,
a Maya group that lives in western Guatemala. In addition to campaigning
against various acts of what activists termed environmental
exploitation?such as a massive dam that would have displaced numerous Maya
people from their homeland?Mateo?s activism also extended to preserving his
native tongue. He was one of the founders of Snuq Jolom Konob, a bilingual
radio station with broadcasts in both Spanish and Q?anjob?al?a subversive
act in a country where indigenous languages are said to represent a threat
to the hegemony of the hispanohablante.

For Annie Gagliardi, a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard?s Linguistics
Department, Mateo?s death hit close to home. Much of her work focuses on
languages of the Caucasus and Guatemala, and she had previously done
research in Guatemala with Mateo's cousin, another linguistics postdoc at
Harvard. Mateo was murdered a few weeks before Gagliardi was scheduled to
return to Guatemala and meet him. ?It?s a frightening pattern,? Gagliardi
says. ?Here are these languages you care about, these communities you care
about, and the people fighting for them?they?re targets.?

*Language nests: a way to revive Indigenous languages at risk*

More than 90% of Australia?s Indigenous languages are critically endangered
and two-thirds of those languages spoken a hundred years ago are now
dormant. The seeds of the current situation were sown long ago, even before
English was widespread in remote communities and Aboriginal children went
to school.

Genocide, forced population removal, disease, stolen children, and
community disruption ? all of these have contributed to the precarious
state of Indigenous languages today. Meanwhile, most Australian educational
policies have been apathetic at best towards fostering Indigenous language
use in schools.

Some states are making strides, such as New South Wales, which last month
launched the first of five community-runlanguage nests aimed at saving
Indigenous languages. Meanwhile, other states and territories, like the
Northern Territory, have begun winding back Indigenous language initiatives.

Like many other indigenous languages, Tlingit is in survival mode.
Revitalizing the language was the focus of this year?s Tlingit Tribes and
Clans Conference
<http://ankn.uaf.edu/ClanConference2/course/view.php?id=5> held
in Juneau last week.

A Juneau resident has one solution for how to keep the language alive.
During a conference session, realtor and assemblyman Carlton Smith gave
participants a lesson in how to teach Tlingit to children with puppets. And
he does it with the help of a special guest.

Awakening the Language & Culture of Ancient Maya
Posted by Miguel Vilar on November 14, 2013

It is estimated that by 2100, more than half of the 7,000 languages spoken
on Earth will have disappeared. Throughout human history, languages have
come and gone, but the rate at which languages are disappearing has
accelerated dramatically in recent years.

Why does it matter?

National Geographic?s Enduring Voices
project<http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/enduring-voices/>,
which is documenting endangered languages, reminds us that each time the
planet loses a language, humanity loses an important piece of its cultural
identity. Many of the most vulnerable languages have yet to be written down
because their culture and traditions are passed down orally.

One of the primary goals of the Genographic
Project<https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/> is
to gather and analyze research data in collaboration with indigenous and
traditional peoples around the world. Recognizing the importance of
preserving indigenous languages and traditions, the Genographic Project
developed the Genographic Legacy Fund (GLF) in 2005. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the Geno 2.0 DNA Kits goes to the GLF, which

Women Reclaim Cultural Knowledge in Northwestern Amazonia
Posted: 11/12/2013 4:44 pm

An hour before dawn, we landed at a small airstrip deep in the mountains of
the Colombian Amazon. This remote forest -- ringing with the sounds of
frogs, monkeys and parrots --seemed surreal, as did my reason for visiting.
Over the next five days, I would photograph the annual conference of the
region's female indigenous healers.

I traveled with Liliana Madrigal, Senior Director of Program Operations for
the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) <http://www.amazonteam.org/>. Thanks to
nearly two decades of work with the region's indigenous communities, ACT
was asked to help organize a gathering of the region's women healers in
2004. Called ASOMI, short for *Asociacion de Mujeres Indigenas*, the
meeting was the first of its kind and presented a unique opportunity. After
years of cultural oppression from missionaries and increasing exploitation
of their forest, these women shamans and healers could now share -- and
therefore rebuild -- their traditional ecological and medicinal knowledge.

The USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

announces openings for Full-Time Non-Tenure-Track Positions in Writing

?

?

The USC Writing Program in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and 
Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks qualified applicants for 
full-time non-tenure-track teaching positions?Lecturer, Senior 
Lecturer, Master Lecturer, Assistant Professor (Teaching), Associate 
Professor (Teaching), and Professor (Teaching)?to join our faculty 
beginning Fall 2014.

?

The Writing Program teaches courses that fulfill the undergraduate 
writing requirement in a context informed by the rhetorical tradition, 
process theory, and ethical discursive practices. First-year courses 
develop students' writing and critical reasoning skills within 
thematic contexts. Advanced courses, composed primarily of juniors and 
seniors, bring students together based on their academic interests and 
career goals, addressing writing in different disciplines for various 
audiences. Small class sizes in both first-year and upper-level 
courses facilitate a workshop model of instruction, frequent 
one-on-one and small-group conferencing, and an emphasis on the 
writing process.

?

Full-time non-tenure-track faculty teach three sections each semester, 
for which they will develop syllabi and assignments in accordance with 
program guidelines. The Writing Program also provides significant 
opportunities for professional growth and development. Faculty are 
eligible to participate in program, college, and university 
governance. New faculty will join a vibrant community of teachers, 
writers, and scholars composed of faculty and graduate students from a 
range of disciplines.

?

The Writing Program hopes to hire faculty interested in making a 
career of teaching writing at USC. Initial appointments are 
fixed-term, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance 
and review by the program faculty, its directors, and the college 
deans. Dornsife provides opportunities for promotion based on 
demonstrated teaching excellence and service to the program, school, 
and university.

?

Qualifications

?

Candidates should have a PhD or other terminal degree by June 2014. We 
require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college 
level and we value familiarity with the needs of writers whose first 
language is not English. While many of our faculty have scholarly 
backgrounds in English Literature or Rhetoric and Composition, we 
welcome candidates from all fields.

?

Application Procedure

?

The deadline for applications is December 2, 2013. Applicants should 
submit a letter of application, CV, teaching evaluations and the names 
of three referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees 
will be contacted directly by USC. In order to be considered for this 
position, applicants are required to submit an electronic USC 
application; follow this job link or paste in a browser:

*Delegation to Celebrate Contributions of Code Talkers in Gold Medal
Ceremony*

Published on Thursday, 07 November 2013 15:48 Written by Media Release

WASHINGTON?Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), and
Representative Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), today announced that Native American
code talkers from eight of South Dakota?s tribes will be recognized for
their dedicated and valorous service during World War I and World War II at
a gold medal ceremony to be held at the U.S. Capitol on November 20, 2013.

The Congressional Gold Medal award is among the highest honors of
appreciation and recognition bestowed on an individual, institution, or
event by Congress. In total, 33 tribes from around the country will be
recognized, and over 200 silver medals will be presented to families of
code talkers. Thune and Johnson were cosponsors of the Senate version of
The Code Talkers Recognition Act of 2008 (H.R. 4544), which was signed into
law in October of 2008 and directed the issuance of medals to honor the
contributions of Native American code talkers during World War I and World
War II.

Someone suggested I post this message here, besides where I first posted it, on the Lexicography List:

Sometimes we discover lexical items which need to have a restricted status within the language and academic communities. I want to be able to enter that data in my dictionary program but it must be accessible only to those who are authorized to view it.

Besides working as a lexicographer for my job, I do genealogy as a hobby. My genealogy program allows for certain kinds of information to be hidden from other viewers. I need the same ability to hide certain kinds of lexical information.

Have any of you encountered this issue before?

What solutions have you found?

Do you know of any dictionary software that allows us to hide some information?

Hello,

what software are you currently using for your dictionary?  Fieldworks Language Explorer (FLEx) will allow you to filter out items before you export a dictionary, based on the value of pretty much any field.  So you can give items you want to hide a certain value in the "Status" field for example, or a certain value in any of several other fields that you might not be using otherwise, and then filter out anything with that value in that field.  For example, give those words a status of "private" and then filter so that items with status=private are filtered out.  Then you export your dictionary, and those words won't be included.  You would have to watch out for whether any other word's entry cross-references the words you want to hide, if you fill in fields that cross-reference other words.

This wouldn't hide the words if you gave a copy of the whole database to someone else to use on their computer, using the FLEx software.  But it would keep the words from appearing in a dictionary that you create as a pdf or other document to give copies of to someone else.

If you're also creating a text collection with translations, then it would be more complicated to hide specific words, since they might occur right in the middle of a sentence.  But I think that would be difficult no matter what software you're using, and it would only be about text collections, not the dictionary.

I suspect that other software can do this too, and it might be that FLEx wasn't the best choice for other reasons, but it can do this.

Good luck with your work,
Natasha Warner

Similar to what Natasha describes, we have a "DNP" (do not publish) checkbox on our 2 dictionary databases.  Again, that would just be for export, and would not help if you were giving the entire database to someone, or giving them access to it.

Another alternative is to treat the set of "restricted lexical items" as a
true set (not just a bunch of material that has a particular feature for a
given field) and to manage them separately from the main lexicon. In
Toolbox (not sure how Flex does it) you would set up a separate lexicon
restricted.lex (that could have the same .typ definition as the main
lexicon). If you share your project with other people, simply leave out the
restricted.lex file.

For my work on Sasak in Indonesia I have three separate lexicons: the main
Sasak one, unintegrated Indonesian loans, and a Kawi (literary language)
lexicon. For text glossing you simply need to tell the lookup procedure to
search each lexicon in sequence for matches and to copy across relevant
data, eg. morpheme gloss, part of speech.

For lexicon export, eg. for printing, the user can choose which data files
to include in the export.

Might be worth trying this in your case.

Best,
Peter

Australia is the place of vanishing languages

By Chris Raja

Updated November 19, 2013 14:35:04

*More needs to be done to protect Indigenous languages and the culture and
heritage they represent, writes Chris Raja.*


Recently, at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney University's Dr
Michael Walsh made a significant discovery. In boxes of unpublished papers
he unearthed a 125-page dictionary of two central Australian languages ?
Arrarnta and Luritja ? compiled by German missionary Carl Strehlow.

Walsh has been working with Ronald Briggs, the Indigenous services
librarian at the State Library, investigating the languages used among
Indigenous Australians.

Alaska?s Tlingit code talkers will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal
today in Washington, D.C., for their contributions to World Wars I and II.

Never heard of a Tlingit code talker, you say?

While the story of Navajo code talkers who used their complex language to
help the United States military transmit secret tactical messages is
famous, it?s not unique to Pueblo Indians.

The Royal Welsh Fusiliers continue to employ Cembrophones for the same purpose. This turned out to be a problem in the Falklands war because of y Wladfa, a Welsh colony in Patagonia.

*Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum*



http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/news-room/news10071301.aspx



*Project Summary*
Initiated by the First Peoples? Cultural Council, and hosted by the En?owkin
Centre <http://www.enowkincentre.ca/>, the Cultural Protocols and the Arts
Forum will facilitate meaningful and solutions-focused discussion and
sharing amongst Indigenous artists and cultural people, March 3?4, 2014, in
Penticton, British Columbia.

*Project Description*
The Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum will provide an opportunity for
approximately 50 First Nations artists, arts and culture leaders, and
community and organization representatives to meet, share and discuss work
already done to define and articulate cultural protocols and concepts of
protection, with a particular focus on supporting the current practices of
artists working in all disciplines (visual, music, dance, storytelling,
media, etc).

Participants will benefit from understanding each other?s work, and
together we will identify common concerns and priorities. The group will
explore a vision for moving forward, as well as possible models for working
together on common initiatives and actions.

The majority of participants will come from British Columbia, as well as
the rest of Canada, with a few key invited international participants.
Areas of discussion will include:
?    Defining cultural protocols
?    Models for engaging community in defining and articulating cultural
protocols
?    Models for documentation, sharing and communicating
?    Protecting traditional knowledge ? the collective and the individual
?    Marks of authenticity ? existing models
?    How do contemporary artists consider and navigate protocols when
making and presenting their work?
?    How do protocols accommodate the vision and practices of contemporary
experimental artists? How do we ensure we are not oppressing ourselves?
?    Differences amongst our cultures and values
?    Recommendations for future actions
?    Useful tools

*Call to Participants*
It is our intention that all attendees be contributors to the forum through
presentations, roundtable discussions and other modes of sharing.
If you would like to apply to attend, please submit:
?    Letter of interest, describing how you will contribute and how your
participation might affect your practice or the practice of FPCC artists
?    CV, bio or resume

Hello all,
Please see forwarded message. My apologies for any cross-postings.
Thank you,
Aliana Parker



Hello,

Please accept this e-postcard and brochure about our national Indian
Residential School Commemorative project, ?Witness: Pieces of History.?
They are an introduction to The Witness Blanket project that we hope you
will be part of and share. Momentum is building as more and more people
take part in making this national monument to reconciliation a reality.
Inspired by a woven blanket, Master Carver Carey Newman is creating a
large-scale art installation from items reclaimed from Residential Schools,
churches, government buildings and traditional and cultural structures
including Friendship Centres, Band Offices, treatment centres and
universities, from across Canada.
The Witness Blanket will stand as a national monument to recognize the
atrocity of the Indian Residential School era, honour the children and
symbolize ongoing reconciliation.
People from all across Canada of all faiths, ethnicities and generations
are called upon to participate.  We are looking for wood, shingles, brick,
glass, metal, books, photographs and other materials from Residential
School sites and affiliated structures including churches, courthouses,
government buildings and traditional and cultural structures.  Our goal is
to collect 2,500 Pieces of History for our blanket.

*?I conceived the Witness Blanket to not only honour my father, but also to
leave a legacy for my daughter, so that her generation may continue this
journey toward healing and reconciliation? **~ Carey Newman*

As a project team, we are crossing the country, visiting each province and
territory, on Gathering Trips collecting contributions.  Recent ?Pieces of
History? we?ve received range from a sandstone block from the Red Deer
Industrial School ? which Canada?s first Aboriginal Lieutenant Governor
attended ? to a piece of historic stained glass from the St. Mary?s Indian
Band, brought to the Kootenay?s from Italy 150 years ago.


*Here?s how you can help and be part of the project:*?         Contribute a
piece of History to the Witness Blanket
?         Promote the project within your own community or organization
?         Act as a Community Champion for the project and work with others
in your community to contribute pieces to the blanket
?         Add a link to our project website on your own community or
organization website
?         Share our project far and wide via Facebook and Twitter
?         Tell others about our work, in your community, your organization
or your family.

We are happy to support your participation in any of the ways listed above.
 If you are interested, please let us know how you would like to contribute
to the project and we can move forward from there.

If you require any further information about the Witness: Pieces of History
project please do not hesitate to contact us. You can call the office toll
free at 1 (855) 888-6998, email us at info at witnessblanket.ca <
mailto:info at witnessblanket.ca <info at witnessblanket.ca>> , visit our website
www.witnessblanket.ca <http://www.witnessblanket.ca> or follow our progress
on Facebook (Witness Blanket) and Twitter (@WitnessBlanket).

Thank you very much for your consideration!

Rosy Steinhauer
Project Coordinator
Witness: Pieces of History

PS:  If you don?t have a Piece of History to contribute yourself, please
help us spread the word and share this email and our e-postcard with your
community, your family and online.  Thank you.

I
am in the process of transcribing and translating recordings.? Currently, I am listening to these recordings
and slowly working through to create written documents of these recordings and
it is slow going.?? Does anyone know if
there is currently any software available that allows live speakers, audio and/or
video recordings of endangered language speakers to be transcribed by
computer?? I am very interested in this
because it would save me months if not years of time in transcription.? If not, any one up for making the software?

Native American Heritage Month ? Preserving, living indigenous languages
By Andi Murphy / amurphy at lcsun-news.com @andimurphy on Twitter
POSTED:   11/23/2013 01:00:41 AM MST

Donald Pepion's parents attended boarding schools at a time when Native
Americans were not permitted to speak their language.

"It was hard to be Indian," said Pepion, a member of the Blackfeet tribe of
Montana. "So as a result of that, they didn't use the language at home a
lot. We know that in both boarding schools and mission schools kids were
abused if they tried to use their language or tried to express any of their
culture."

Through forced assimilation many tribes lost vast amounts of their culture
and language, he said.

 / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

A small plane brought Chapman professor Pilar Valenzuela and student Priya
Shah to the village that resides along the meandering, 1,000-mile-long
Ucayali River in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

?You land in a little field of grass,? Shah said. ?The airport was a piece
of metal on top of four poles.?

Valenzuela is an expert in the languages of the Shipibo (shih-pee-boe) and
Shiwilu (shih-wee-loo) people of the area. Shah and other Chapman students
went with her on one of her many work and research trips to Peru to help
her document the Shiwilu language.

While Shipibo is still spoken, learned and passed on to children, Shiwilu
is on the verge of extinction.

Greetings ILAT,

With this sad news, Mr. Kipp is greatly missed by us all.  I am fortunate to have worked along side Darrell Kipp as a board member of the Native Voices Endowment.  To many of us in the language revitalization community, he will forever be remembered for his powerful and eloquent message of radical hope on speaking and living our ancestral languages.

Life and language always,
Phil Cash Cash (Cayuse & Nez Perce)

Dear ILAT members,

I recently helped organize a panel on indigenous languages at the Canadian
Festival of Spoken Word in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The event was met with
a lot of public support and positive media attention. Here is an article
that was just published in the McGill Tribune and it expands upon many of
the topics that were brought up at the panel.

Here are some photos from the panel at the festival:

thanks for reading!

Subject: Remembering Darrell Kipp
Message-ID: <WED.27.NOV.2013.153750.0500.>

  Darrell Kipp was an inspiration to us all, and I wanted to recall some of the ways that he inspired me in particular.
  Darrel's Piegan Institute got one of the earliest grants from the Endangered Language Fund (ELF).  It was a small grant, but it was clear that it was going to an amazing project.  Darrell went on to raise much more significant funds, but it is a continuing satisfaction that ELF helped a little bit too.
  Before I even met him, Darrell inspired me.  The book that was published by the Grotto Foundation in 2000 was a manifesto for language activism, and it was a source of hope and optimism that repaid repeated visits.  "Don't ask for permission."  Every time I thought that the task of language documentation and revitalization was too big, I began to think I was asking permission to do what I wanted.  Just do it!  I know that many others have found this small book to be one of the most valuable in their collections.
  When the Lewis & Clark Expedition Bicentennial Commission was looking for ways to spend out the last of its money (obtained from the sale of the commemorative nickels), Darrell was instrumental in making sure that language was one of the two projects that eventually got endowed.  When ELF won the right to manage the language endowment, Darrell graciously agreed to be both on the Native Voices Endowment Advisory Board and also on the main ELF Board of Directors.  He served in that capacity from 2007 to 2012.  His advice continued to shape that program into the success it is today.
  Even though Darrell was already stepping back from public service during the past year or so, it is hard to imagine our public discussions of language revitalization without his forceful, convincing and timely comments--along with their frequent dollops of humor.  All of us at ELF will miss him.

I too remember
many great words of encouragement and advice from Darrell.?When
I was in my early twenties we ended up being roommates at a conference and we
stayed up half the night talking.? Actually, it seemed more like I interrogated him but he was gracious and
addressed all of my questions.? When I
saw him again, I asked him if he remembered when I picked his brain that night and he told
me he vaguely remembered because I had definitely picked his brain that night and did not
leave him much left.

 
I also remember him
saying ?Don?t ask for permission? and drawing attention to the dynamics and politics
of communities in order to stress the need to learn to navigate through them
better.?? I think his words are still
very pertinent today. ?He will be
missed.
