Nominations solicited for the 2003 Ken Hale Prize

Readers of the SSILA Bulletin are reminded that nominations for the 2003 
Ken Hale Prize are being accepted by the Prize Committee.

The Ken Hale Prize is presented annually by SSILA in recognition of 
outstanding community language work and a deep commitment to the 
documentation, maintenance, promotion, and revitalization of indigenous 
languages in the Americas.  The Prize (which carries a
small monetary stipend and is not to be confused with the LSA's Kenneth 
Hale Book Award) honors those who strive to link the academic
and community spheres in the spirit of Ken Hale.  Recipients can range from 
native speakers and community-based linguists to academic
specialists, and may include groups or organizations.  No academic 
affiliation is necessary.

A nomination for the Prize may be made by anyone.  It should include a 
letter of nomination stating the current position and affiliation, if
appropriate, of the nominee or nominated group (tribal, organizational, or 
academic), and a summary of the nominee's background and contributions to 
specific language communities.  The nominator should also submit a brief 
portfolio of supporting materials, such as the nominee's curriculum vitae, 
a description of completed or ongoing activities of the nominee, letters 
from those who are most familiar with the work of the nominee (e.g. 
language program staff, community people, academic associates), and any 
other material that would support the nomination.  Submission of 
manuscript-length work is discouraged.

The 2003 Ken Hale Prize will be announced at the next annual meeting of 
SSILA, in Boston, January 2004.  The members of this year's selection 
committee are Akira Yamamoto, Sara Trechter and Colette Grinevald.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is September 30, 2003.

The nomination packet should be sent to:

                     Akira Y. Yamamoto
                     Department of Anthropology
                     University of Kansas
                     Fraser Hall 622
                     1415 Jayhawk Blvd.
                     Lawrence, KS 66045-7556

Nominations will be kept active for two subsequent years for prize 
consideration, and nominators are invited to update their nomination
packets if so desired.  Inquiries can be e-mailed to Akira Yamamoto at 
<akira at ku.edu>.
