Siouan: Winnebago/Ho Chunk

[David Kaufman]

Hi,

I'm Dave Kaufman and have been on the Siouan list for about the past year.
I just graduated with my MA in Linguistics from San Jose State and am now
applying to PhD programs.  I'm currently applying to three: UC Santa
Barbara, U of Colorado, and U of Chicago.  After your email, I'm wondering
if I should also be applying to U of Kansas.  I would like to study a Native
American language, perhaps Ho-Chunk.  I've spoken with people at U of
Chicago about this.
