progress in the context of linguistics. The AAAS has released a survey
of 12 questions, and is now seeking the feedback of various
professional organizations. The LSA Ethics Committee will be posting
the survey questions on the blog, with some introduction, and would
like feedback from readers. They will then collate responses into a
report for the AAAS. Members are also welcome to submit their own
reports.  Check out this blog and the LSA’s other interactive
resources at http://www.lsadc.org/info/res-interactive.cfm.

I'm not certain that Justin is getting the congratulatory notes.  He changed his email address and I'm not sure it ever has gotten changed on the siouan list.  His new address is jtmcbri at okstate.edu.  

And, by the way, the Kanza Reader, containing all available Kaw traditional texts, has now been published.  Justin did a fantastic job with help from Linda.  I believe Linda will be bringing some of the books to the Siouan Conference, so have your checkbooks handy!   :-)

Anthony,

I can answer that: The content of the Kanza Reader is available for 
free at http://www.kawnation.com/WebKanza/LangPages/langworks.html. The 
book and CD are available for $24.99, plus $4.95 shipping in the US. 
Actually, it only contains 20 of the 31 known Kanza texts (all 31 texts 
are available at the web site named above: scroll down the page to 
where it says "Cultural Context" the second time and find "Combined 
Kanza Texts (2009)."

The Kanza Reader is designed to teach literacy and basic grammar. After 
having spent the past several years developing language materials that 
focus on speaking, Justin and I decided to go at the language from 
another direction for those Kaw people who want to know about their 
language, but don't necessarily want to learn to speak it. We wanted to 
create a tool that would make people comfortable with the appearance of 
their language in written form, and gain some basic insights into the 
language's structure so that they could start to recognize words and 
phrases in the narratives of their own ancestors.

I'd be happy to mail copies to anyone who is interested. Checks should 
be made out to Kaw Nation. Only 500 copies were printed and there are 
still about 400 left.

Linda

        Linda:
    In an effort to beat the rush, now that 1/5 of your book & CDs are already sold, can you sent a set to my address in WC:
    POBox 122, White Cloud, KS 66094
    Do not put a street address, least they deliver it to the house where the dog tore and shredded the last book delivered by UPS, causing it only to be of service to start a morning fire if we still had a wood stove.

    It will pay you at the conference, or if you must have the reimbursement immediately, my office assistant will give you a check.  I am CC him this note in the event that will be your need.  Otherwise, Thanks, and see you at SCLC in June.

The LSA Ethics Discussion Blog provides an opportunity for you to
contribute ongoing discussions on this important topic. ?Currently,
the Ethics Committee is liasing with the AAAS (and in particular its

to say that people have the right to enjoy the benefit of scientific
progress in the context of linguistics. The AAAS has released a survey
of 12 questions, and is now seeking the feedback of various
professional organizations. The LSA Ethics Committee will be posting
the survey questions on the blog, with some introduction, and would
like feedback from readers. They will then collate responses into a
report for the AAAS. Members are also welcome to submit their own
reports. ?Check out this blog and the LSA?s other interactive
resources at http://www.lsadc.org/info/res-interactive.cfm.

I'm not certain that Justin is getting the congratulatory notes.  He changed his email address and I'm not sure it ever has gotten changed on the siouan list.  His new address is jtmcbri at okstate.edu.  

And, by the way, the Kanza Reader, containing all available Kaw traditional texts, has now been published.  Justin did a fantastic job with help from Linda.  I believe Linda will be bringing some of the books to the Siouan Conference, so have your checkbooks handy!   :-)

Anthony,

I can answer that: The content of the Kanza Reader is available for 
free at http://www.kawnation.com/WebKanza/LangPages/langworks.html. The 
book and CD are available for $24.99, plus $4.95 shipping in the US. 
Actually, it only contains 20 of the 31 known Kanza texts (all 31 texts 
are available at the web site named above: scroll down the page to 
where it says "Cultural Context" the second time and find "Combined 
Kanza Texts (2009)."

The Kanza Reader is designed to teach literacy and basic grammar. After 
having spent the past several years developing language materials that 
focus on speaking, Justin and I decided to go at the language from 
another direction for those Kaw people who want to know about their 
language, but don't necessarily want to learn to speak it. We wanted to 
create a tool that would make people comfortable with the appearance of 
their language in written form, and gain some basic insights into the 
language's structure so that they could start to recognize words and 
phrases in the narratives of their own ancestors.

I'd be happy to mail copies to anyone who is interested. Checks should 
be made out to Kaw Nation. Only 500 copies were printed and there are 
still about 400 left.

Linda

        Linda:
    In an effort to beat the rush, now that 1/5 of your book & CDs are already sold, can you sent a set to my address in WC:
    POBox 122, White Cloud, KS 66094
    Do not put a street address, least they deliver it to the house where the dog tore and shredded the last book delivered by UPS, causing it only to be of service to start a morning fire if we still had a wood stove.

    It will pay you at the conference, or if you must have the reimbursement immediately, my office assistant will give you a check.  I am CC him this note in the event that will be your need.  Otherwise, Thanks, and see you at SCLC in June.
