U Washington revitalization workshop

[REGINA PUSTET]

Dear Siouanists:

There will be a workshop on the technical side of  revitalizing Native American Languages at 

U Washington, Department of Linguistics, this fall. They are desperately looking for a Siouanist who 

would be willing to participate. I’m pasting the details below. If you’re interested in teaching/presenting, 

please contact Alice Taff at taff at u.washington.edu.
