<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5>I have just spoken with a member of the
Executive Committee (Tribal Council). I was told that the use of the
George Ogdon Building will be without charge, and that includes full use of the
kitchen area, the coffee urn and whatever supplies are available (coffee, tea,
sugar, etc.). Of course there is no parking permits...it's rural
area. So beyond the costs of ice, refreshments, fruit, donuts and Danish
pastry, we may realize a return on the $20 Conference fee during the week to
those who pay it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5>Also, I confirmed that the Tribe still has a 6
passenger (sitting comfortably) shuttle van between the Eagle Nest Motel and the
Casino/ Conference site. They will arrange a convenient time of transport
in the mornings and late afternoons as per the wishes of those who would like to
leave their cars at the Motel, and leave the driving to the Tribal chauffeur, to
take advantage of the scenic offerings of the Missouri River basin.
However, I would think it best, to have a commitment of a minimum of 6 (six)
persons (attending Conference) to alert the driver, as there may be Casino
guests who would also like the shuttle ride and as such, they would need to
arrange the latter's transport at a different time schedule. There is no
charge for this service.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5><FONT color=#000000 size=3>Title: What’s New
with the Transcriptions and Translations of the Trickster Tales of Felix White,
Sr.?<BR><BR>This presentation provides an update for Siouan linguists and
teachers of Native American languages on my long-term project of recording,
transcribing, annotating, translating into English verse, and publishing a book
of the Hochank Trickster narratives of the late Felix White, Sr., of Winnebago,
Nebraska. Although I have not presented a paper on this project since the 1990s,
I have continued to work on it and have completed preliminary versions of the
fourteen stories that will comprise "The Foolish One: Trickster Narrative of
Felix White, Sr." I have typed the transcriptions of these tales using IT
(Interlinear Text) 1.01r7 annotation software which facilitates multiple-line
transitions from Hochank phonemes to morphemes to literal English translations.
In order to make this material a more useful tool for students learning how to
speak the Hochank language, I am currently revising the top lines of my
transcriptions to more accurately represent the actual pronunciations,
contractions, and accent patterns of Mr. White’s speech as preserved on audio
tapes. For this revision, I am also checking over my annotations and
translations for consistency and accuracy and making sure that the line numbers
of the annotated transcriptions match up with those of my free translations into
English verse. So far, I have finished revising three
stories.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT><FONT color=#800080 size=5>I appreciate this early
arrival to begin an agenda for the Conference, and I will send to forthcoming
abstracts to the Siouan List and the Conference List (those who are registered
for Conference, but not on the "official" Siouan list). In this way,
we all will have an idea of the developing scheduling of presentations and
events.</DIV>
