  Following Lance's steps, I'll also introduce myself.

  My name is Wendy Branwell, and I am currently a graduate student in the Anthropology department at Wichita State University. I am writing an introductory descriptive grammar of the Kaw language with the invaluable assistance of Dr. Rankin. The purpose of the grammar is to offer it to the Kaw as a tool for a language revitalization project I believe to have been recently initiated there in Kaw City.

  Any knowledge pertaining to Kaw culture and language is appreciated.

  To work with endangered languages is my passion, although, like Lance, my knowledge depth of linguistics is limited due to lack of a linguistic dept. at Wichita State. I am ESL certified with a BS in Technical Writing, and Phd work in literary theory at Rice University (1988). I lived in Costa Rica as a newspaper reporter for 6 years, and have lived in Panama, Guatemala, India, England and the Netherlands. If any of you know of a program seeking individuals to work in endangered language documentation, I'd be grateful for the contact. I should be finished in Wichita this August, and am welcoming a move out of the Wichita area (if ya know what I mean....). I look forward to getting to know all of you.
