<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question for the Dhegihanists out
there. I recently received a request from a hospital chaplain in Chicago
for information on hymnals or Bibles (and/or Bible portions) in
the Kaw language. I told him that to the best of my knowledge no
such texts existed for Kaw. But later it really got me to wondering
about James Owen Dorsey. If Dorsey acheived enough fluency in Ponca
to conduct church services, isn't it at least plausible that he devised some
sort of hymn book and perhaps even translated Bible portions?
Unfortunately, I don't know nearly enough about the man or his work outside of
Kaw to answer this question. Did he ever do anything like this?
And even if he didn't, does anyone know if *any* documents like this
exist for OP, OS, or QU (and perhaps KS, in case I overlooked
something)?</FONT></DIV>
