ELL: "Reclaiming Indigenous Languages" article

[Dave Harmon]

Hi everyone,

FYI, there is a good article entitled "Reclaiming Indigenous
Languages by Teresa L. McCarty and Lucille J. Watahomigie in the
current issue of COMMON GROUND: ARCHEOLOGY AND ETHNOGRAPHY IN THE
PUBLIC INTEREST, a publication of the U.S. National Park Service.
Aimed at a general audience, the article covers Navajo, Maori,
Mohawk, and other languages.  There are sidebars on IPOLA by InÈe
Yang Slaughter and on Hawaiian by William H. Wilson.  The article is
very attractively laid out, and, since COMMON GROUND is a government
publication and therefore in the public domain, it strikes me that
the article could be useful to teachers and others as a handout in a
variety of settings.

However, I am advised by COMMON GROUND's editor, David Andrews, that
"we have extra copies but they're going fast! Your colleagues should
e-mail me or call asap (my direct line is 1-202-343-1881). We'll be
posting out-of-print issues on the web after our site overhaul
is wrapped up later this year."  David's e-mail is:

David didn't mention a charge, so my guess is that copies are free
while they last.

regards
