<div>Thanks for your info--we'll discuss & think more on this, we have a big Apache summit coming up in the Spring 2012 & hope to include this topic on the agenda. We were planning on involving local GIS tech savvy people in our natural resources depts, etc & the idea of technology involvement is good for local purposes but we have the problem of trying not to publish maps of locations of culturall-sensitive info such as sacred sites, ruins, etc. to greater public or Internet access so that will have to be worked out with more planning meetings.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, collaborating with a university would be an option but needs more planning also. Please do send me contact info for those agengies you mentioned. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Again, thanks!</div>

<div>Ms. Penfield:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have a question for possible grant applic to DEL next year--we've been working on Apache place-names for the Western Apache reservations in AZ for a couple of years without any grant funding but now find a need since the areas we are going to focus on are very large reservation areas & will need additional resources, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My question is if you think it would be feasible for us to submit a grant application to conduct fieldwork on gathering place-names utilizing elder consultants (will need stipends), some current staff (can we use part of salaries as In-Kind contribution?), & additional staff as needed? The main goal is to revitalize & maintain the Apache place names for use by future generations, for teaching tools in local classrooms, develop maps, etc. (in a nutshell) although proposal not yet developed, just ideas for now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would deem this to be a project that would assist our tribes in revitalizing our Apache languages, along with teaching the oral histories of how place-names came to be, what some represent symbolically, etc. for our young people to learn along with the names.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One of the consultants/advisors for several years is Dr. Keith Basso, retired Anthropology professor, & the whole group would be an adivsory committee that consists of the Western Apache groups: White Mountain Apache, San Carlos Apache, Yavapai-Apache Nation, Tonto Apache Nation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We've already been in discussions on this for several meetings & would like an idea if the DEL grant funding or other you might suggest that might be more apt?, we'd like some feedback on whether we can plan on a submission for next year's grant cycle.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any info & I think I mentioned before that I'm a UA graduate & working on language & cultural knowledge issues.</div>
