Hi all,<br><br>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. <br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Dave<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>David Kaufman, Ph.C.<br>University of Kansas<br>Linguistic Anthropology<br>
