Dear all,
Thanks for the many congratulations. The ELF grant is proving to be extremely
helpful in the development of pedagogical material for the revitalization efforts
for Hidatsa.
I also wanted to send out the call for the 2nd CELCNA conference. This was a
very good conference last year and I have no doubt that it will be extremely
informative and helpful this time as well.
All the best,
John Boyle
