Siouan language programs?

[Robert L. Rankin]

Dear Colleagues,

I am updating my article on Siouan languages and linguistics for the
Plains volume of the Handbook of North American Indians (HNAI) being
published by the Smithsonian.  I've been asked by Ray DeMallie to
include, for each Siouan language in the Plains area, information on
current programs to teach the language in tribal, public or other
schools and institutions.

I'll only be able to include a few sentences about language maintenence
and revival programs in each case, so massive input isn't needed.  If
you have information about instruction being offered in the languages
you have expertise on, would you be willing to send me a short
description of the program(s) including information about institution,
enrollment and availablilty of pedagogical materials, plus anything else
you deem pertinent.  I will be more than happy to note your contribution
formally.  I can handle the usual grammar, phonology, history, etc. but
I'll need help to do this section properly.

Thanks in advance.
