Siouan/Caddoan conference 2000

[ROOD DAVID S]

Hi everyone,
	The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes in Anadarko, Oklahoma have
tentatively agreed to host our meeting in 2000. I am suggesting Fri and
Sat June 9-10 as dates, but there are no special constraints on those
days.  Personally, I would like to keep it from getting much later into
the summer, but those of you with different schedules are welcome
to offer countersuggestions if you wish.
	Anadarko is a town of about 6,000 about 60 miles SW of Oklahoma
City.  It is a tourist attraction in the summer because of its abundance
of Native American places and events, some more commercial than others, of
course.   Tribes living nearby include Wichita, Caddo, Pawnee, Iowa-Oto,
Kansa, Quapaw, Ponca, and Osage (I hope I haven't left anyone out), in
addition to representatives of other families (Comanche, Kiowa, Apache,
Delaware, Southern Cheyenne, and probably more).
	I would like to have paper proposals by around the first of May,
but we can establish those details later.  Right now I would just like as
much feedback as possible on the date.
	Thanks.
	David
