I don't know where the materials are but have a couple possible leads.  First, she did her Ph.D. at Columbia University and I think her major Prof. was George Herzog.  That would seem a logical starting place.  Then, it is possible the materials got archived at the National Anthropological Archives at the Natural History Building of the Smithsonian Institution.  The NAA  is headed by Robert Leopold.  FAX 301 238 2883;
leopold at mnh.si.edu.  Inquiries might also be directed to the Society for Linguistic Anthropology which is a Section of the American Anthropological Association, 2200 Wilson Blvd., Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22201-3357.  The current representative from the SLA on the AAA Board is Monica S. Heller, University of Toronto, mheller at oise.utoronto.ca.  The Hochunk in Wisconsin at one point had a project to obtain copies of EVERYTHING written about the Hochunk but I don't know what became of that.  I wonder, however, if anyone has contacted the Culture and History Office of the Hochunk Nation at Black River Falls or its equivalent at Winnebago, Nebraska.  As I recall virtually all of Susmann's work was based on work with Sam Blowsnake, AKA Sam Carly whose autobiography Radin published under the title, Crashing Thunder.  Hope something helpful emerges from this.  Cheers, Nancy
