<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=6>I realize it is still early with 41days left to
June 1st (6 weeks), which allows for additional conference presentations to be
scheduled; and, we know that Wednesday thru Friday is primarily focused on the
formal comparative Siouan grammar work and discussions. What however, is
scheduled "officially" for the Saturday-Sunday presentations - the
community applied linguistics portion? I am sure there will be an
informal, community by community, summary of activities, but what has been
scheduled for the actual presentations?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=6></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=6>My reason for asking is in regard to a car load
of young Natives leaving from here at White Cloud for the conference and prior
to the community language presentations on Saturday-Sunday, will make some
educational tours of museums in Chicago, Milwaukee, a meeting with
anthropologist, Nancy Lurie, then on to Oneida and to locate Máyan Shuje near
Green Bay, WS, which is the traditional origin place of what became the Hochank
(Winnebago), Ioway, and the Otoe-Missouria. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=6>The group will meet me in Chicago afternoon, as
I will travel separately on Monday & Tuesday (5/31 & 6/01), first
from White Cloud to Lincoln, NE, and then ride with Mark Swetland (Omaha
Language & Native American Studies) to Chicago. It is hoped that an
early arrival will allow sufficient time to meet the group and visit the Museum
of Chicago, southern Plains exhibits. Then on Wednesday, I will
accompany the group to visit the Ioway Exhibits at the Milwaukee Museum and meet
with Nancy Laurie, former Curator of the MM, before proceeding to Oneida for the
evening. Thursday will be devoted to locating the historical traditional
site of Mayan Shuje after which I and the group will return back to
University of Chicago, Dept. Linguistics on 5500 N. St.Louis Ave. to take in the
presentations from the various language communities.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=6>As such, it would be helpful to have some idea
of the conference agenda to assist in coordinating with this group of young
people, who represent the future potential of their
Native Commuity. </FONT></DIV>
