I'd have to agree on a basis of sheer volume. Of course, I have no idea
how useful the numerous Algonquian items are. For Siouan contributions
I'd recommend maybe Lipkind's Winnebago grammar. Among things that I
think are essentially unpublished (manuscripts or dissertations) there's
Sussman's Winnebago grammar, Hollow's Mandan dictionary, Hahn's
(Omaha-)Ponca grammar, and Huron K. Smith's manuscript Winnebago
ethnobotany. (I think his Oneida ditto is also unpublished.) A really
heroic effort might be Dorsey's Omaha-Ponca grammar or slip file.
However, these last from Smith on are longhand or heavily long-hand, and I
think more like some projects that HRAF has undertaken in the past than
the typical EP project.
