Dear RNLDers,<br><br>Chun (Jimmy) Huang is asking for support with a petition seeking official status for the Siraya people of Taiwan (and for other unrecognized low-land Aboriginal peoples). Recognition would provide Siraya people with access to funding and resources to support the revitalization of Siraya language and culture.<br>
<br>He has set up a petition at <<a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Siraya-reclamation" target="_blank">http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Siraya-reclamation</a>> and has provided detailed background information at that site.<br>
<br>Chun is a Linguistic consultant with the Tainan Ping-pu Siraya Culture Association and PhD candidate in Linguistics at the University of Florida. He can be contacted on <<span class="gI"><span class="go"><a href="mailto:huangc20@ufl.edu">huangc20@ufl.edu</a>> for further information.</span></span><br>
