Oklahoma. 

25th Annual Siouan and Caddoan Languages and Linguistics Conference

Friday, June 17 - Sunday a.m., June 19, 2005

LOCATION:  Museum Building, Kaw Nation Tribal Complex, Kaw City, Oklahoma

ABSTRACT/TITLE DEADLINE:   June 10, 2005.  If you wish to be on the program,
please send the title of your proposed paper or presentation to: 
<rankin at ku.edu> by email or as an email attachment.  You may also use the postal
service if you wish:  Robert L. Rankin, Department of Linguistics, 1541 Lilac
Lane, Lawrence, KS 66044-3177.  A brief abstract (no more than a couple of
hundred words, preferably less) or description of your topic would also be
appreciated.

Format for the annual Siouan and Caddoan Conference has traditionally been quite
informal and open.  Language-related topics from very technical linguistics
(minimalism, O.T., etc.) to methods and problems encountered in teaching Siouan
or Caddoan languages to students are all welcome.  Presentations may be formal
and read aloud or they may be open discussions of particular problems and
topics.  Time slots for presentations will be 30 minutes unless more or less
time is specifically requested by the presenter (we will try to accommodate
everyone's requests).  

With the presence of so many Siouan and Caddoan peoples in the vicinity, we hope
to have good participation from various language programs (Siouan: Kaw, Osage,
Ponca and Omaha, Quapaw and Ioway-Otoe-Missouria tribes and others farther
afield; Caddoan: Pawnee, Wichita, Caddo) as well as many interested linguists. 
Last year our conference was quite international with participation of linguists
from the Czech Republic, England, Germany, and Lithuania as well as
representation from the Omaha and Winnebago tribes.  

Any special requests for equipment such as projector, tape recorder, computer,
etc. should be directed to Justin McBride, Conference Co-organizer and the
Language Coordinator of the Kaw Nation at <jmcbride at kawnation.com> as soon as
possible, and he will let you know what is available.  

There will be a nominal registration fee of $10 for participants ($5 for
students), to cover the cost of coffee-break refreshments.

Kaw City, OK is located on state highway 11 about 12 miles ENE of Ponca City, OK
on a  long peninsula that extends into Kaw Lake.  The tribal complex is on the
north side of the highway entering town from the west and is hard to miss. 
There is no public transportation between Kaw City and Ponca City, so private
vehicles and a van will be used to ferry participants between their motel and
the tribal complex.  Nearest airports:  Oklahoma City (100 mi.), Tulsa (80 mi.),
and Wichita, KS (80 mi.).  If you are flying in, let us know your flight
information and we will do our best to organize airport pickups or rental-car
sharing.  

LODGING:  A small block of rooms (10 non-smoking, 5 smoking) has been reserved,
under the name Robert Rankin, at the Econo Lodge, 212 S. 14th St., Ponca City,
OK 74601 (phone 580-762-3401 or fax 580-762-4550).  Call before June 10th to get
the group rate of $39+tax a night. It would probably pay to make reservations
early!  This is also the weekend of one of the Osage Inlonshka dances and a
Cattlemen's Association meeting nearby, and these, plus other events, may fill
many of the motels in the area.   There are several other motels in Ponca City.
 Most are more expensive and some are more luxurious.  These can be found listed
at:   http://www.hometownlocator.com/City/Ponca-City-Oklahoma.cfm
