Justin's fellowship, etc.

[Cumberland, Linda A]

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.
