<DIV>Dear All, </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri; FONT-SIZE: medium" type="cite">
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>The 33rd Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference
is approaching fast: 13-15 June, 2013, at Sitting Bull College, at Ft. Yates,
North Dakota. We are only one month away and we need to finalize the planning
and the schedule for the conference. A number of you have already registered
for the conference. I would like to thank you for your planned participation;
it should be a very exciting and fun conference again.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>There have been some questions and unknowns
about the registration, lodging, transportation, dinner, etc … which several
people have asked about. I am sorry that I have not had a chance to personally
respond to all these. I had some questions myself about the process. I have
finally discussed these matters with John Boyle and Wil Meya. So, here are
some more detailed pieces of information. I hope you find this
helpful.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>*Note on Registration and
Additions/Changes: </SPAN><BR><SPAN>If you have not registered for the
conference and would like to do so, you can still register on the
"registration" link at <A
href="http://www.laksummerinst.com/?page_id=36">http://www.laksummerinst.com/?page_id=36</A>.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>If you have registered and would like to go
back and change/add some options (i.e., add the dinner, lunches, t-shirts, …)
you can do so by using the login that you created during your initial
registration process. Simply go back to the website, click on "Register Now",
and then at the bottom right side of the next screen click on "View or Change
your Existing Registration". You can then login with the email and password
you used/created during your initial registration.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>If you would like to join the dinner we are
planning for the evening of June 13th in the restaurant a the Casino, please
indicate that in the registration. Again, if you have decided now that you
want to add that, you can go back into the registration you created and add
this option. That way we will have a good idea of how many people to expect
for this dinner reservation.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>*Very Important Note on
Lodging: </SPAN><BR><SPAN>As I indicated to some of you by email, we have a
block of rooms at the Prairie Knights Casino Lodge set aside for our
conference. When you went through the registration process the system allowed
you to indicate which nights and how many rooms you needed. This process only
gives us a count of the number of rooms and the dates for the rooms. In order
for you to actually reserve a room you need to now call the Prairie Knights
Casino Lodge at 701-854-7777 and reserve room(s) for yourself and whoever else
is coming with you. So, if you have not contacted the Lodge please do so at
this point. When you call them mention that you are reserving room(s) for the
"Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference" event.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>*Important Notes on Transportations:
</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Some of you have asked me about transportation. The closest
airport to the lodge and conference location is the Bismarck Airport. The
airport is on the east side of Bismarck, and it is approximately 55 miles from
the Lodge. From my experience, it takes about one hour to drive this - if you
don't speed! You can look at the directions on google maps (or equivalent). If
you are flying into Bismarck and need a ride from the airport to the
Lodge/Conference site we can try to arrange/organize carpools and pickup.
Please let us know in advance so we can plan.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>The conference location will be at Sitting
Bull College, which is approximately 14 miles from the Prairie Knights Casino
Lodge. There will be a free daily shuttle bus that from the the Lodge to the
College, and back from the College to the Lodge. We can also carpool back and
forth.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>*Abstracts:</SPAN><BR><SPAN>I
would also like to thank those who have submitted paper titles and abstracts!
I have not had a chance to personally respond to each one of you, but I have
actually received your abstracts and I am looking forward to hearing all your
papers. Originally, we had set the abstract deadline as 5th of May.
Since we are still organizing the last few things for the conference, if you
have an idea for a paper and would like to present it, John Boyle and I are
still able to look at a few more abstracts. You can send your
abstracts/ideas in PDF or Word format, to <A
href="mailto:Armik.Mirzayan@usd.edu">Armik.Mirzayan@usd.edu</A>. Please try to
keep your abstracts to a maximum of one
page.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Johan and I will get
back with you soon with a preliminary schedule.
