Congratulations, David Kaufman.  Your enthusiasm for your work with the Kaw language and your willingness to generously share it with the indigenous people is unique and exceptional.

Congrats, Dave! Good luck in your new job. It is one that is still very much near to my heart (emotionally, of course, but also spatially!), and I'd be glad to help out in any way I can if you ever have any questions or concerns--or if you just need a conversation partner. To adapt a simple saying I've heard over here in Osage land to Kansa: Washk??, k?ya!

Hi all,

Just a note to let everyone know that I am now the new Director of the Kaw Language Program in Kaw City, OK.  Linda Cumberland, my predecessor, is now retired, and I wish her the best in her retirement.  I spent the past week with Linda in training down at the Kaw Nation.  I will be moving from Lawrence, KS to Ponca City, OK on July 31 and will resume my position as Director on Monday, August 5.

I am excited about this opportunity to help the Kaw Nation with their language and culture revitalization efforts.  I will, however, also still be enrolled as a student at KU and working to finish my dissertation, The Lower Mississippi Valley as a Language Area, in my off hours, hoping to defend next Spring.  I will continue working with Bob Rankin not only as a member of my dissertation committee but also in connection with his years of work on the Kaw (Kanza) language.

Cheers,
Dave
