Siraya petition

[Margaret Florey]

Dear RNLDers,

Chun (Jimmy) Huang is asking for support with a petition seeking official
status for the Siraya people of Taiwan (and for other unrecognized low-land
Aboriginal peoples). Recognition would provide Siraya people with access to
funding and resources to support the revitalization of Siraya language and
culture.

He has set up a petition at <
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Siraya-reclamation> and has provided
detailed background information at that site.

Chun is a Linguistic consultant with the Tainan Ping-pu Siraya Culture
Association and PhD candidate in Linguistics at the University of Florida.
He can be contacted on <huangc20 at ufl.edu> for further information.

kind regards,
Margaret
