<DIV><BR></DIV>As a reminder, it is worthwhile to point out that there are a
number of unique<BR>individuals who might be called "intellectuals" whom
produced their own<BR>literary tradition in their indigenous or aboriginal
language(s). <BR>These people<BR>are also termed "native speaker researchers"
(see the Languges Vol. 17 of the<BR>Handbook of North American Indians).
They have also helped to create the most<BR>important works of ethnography and
language documentation in their languages.<BR>These unique people may be found
in almost every community today. I am sure<BR>there must be individuals
like this from aboriginal Australia and other parts<BR>of the
world.<BR><BR>Just to name a few...the most prolific and widely known being
Peter <BR>Kalifornsky,<BR>a self-taught Dena'ina writer and ethnographer of
Kenai, Alaska. The <BR>few I know<BR>from the Pacific NW are Philip
Kathlamet, a Wasco ethnographer who was trained<BR>by Edward Sapir (all his
texts and dictionaries were burned upon his death<BR>however). Archie
Phinney, a Nez Perce, a student of Franz Boas. (atway)<BR>Xiluxin, a
self taught Umatilla writer trained by Melville Jacobs.<BR><BR>And the larger
list goes on....<BR><BR>l8ter,<BR>Phil Cash
