2006 SCLC: Announcement and Call for Papers

[Kathleen Shea]

Hi, Randy,

I regret to say that I will not be able to attend this year's SCLC.  I'm facing an end-of-August graduate school deadline for finishing my dissertation, and I'm still getting "back to normal" after the loss of my brother and mother, both of whom died last January (on different dates).  I will really miss seeing everyone, exchanging ideas, hearing what the Crow teachers have to say about the use of the Crow language in their schools, and visiting the beautiful land of the Crow Nation once again.  If this year's conference is anything like the last SCLC you planned in Billings and Pryor, it should be splendid!  I would appreciate it if someone could save me a copy of the handouts and papers if that's not too much trouble.  Thanks!

Kathy

  26TH ANNUAL SIOUAN AND CADDOAN
  LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS CONFERENCE

     Friday, June 16 - Sunday June 18, 2006

  LOCATION: Rocky Mountain College, Billings, Montana

  ABSTRACT/TITLE DEADLINE: June 9, 2006.  If you wish to be on the program, please send the title of your proposed paper or presentation to rgraczyk at aol.com by email or as an email attachment.  Mailing address for those who wish: Randolph Graczyk, PO Box 29, Pryor, MT  59066.  A brief abstract or description of your topic would also be appreciated.

  The format for the annual Siouan and Caddoan Conference has traditionally been quite informal and open.  Language-related topics ranging from very technical linguistics to methods and problems encountered in teaching Siouan and Caddoan languages, language preservation and revitalization, etc., are all welcome.  Presentations may be formal and read aloud or they may be open discussions of particular problems and topics.  Time slots for presentations will be 30 minutes unless more or less time is specifically requested by the presenter (we will try to accomodate everyone's requests).  It is anticipated that there will be participation from members of the Crow Nation and others involved in language teaching and revitalization efforts.

  Any special requests for equipment such as projector, tape recorder, computer, etc., should be directed to Randy Graczyk as soon as possible.

  There will be a nominal registration fee of $10 for participants ($5 for students) to cover the costs of coffee-break refreshments.  

  The conference will be held at Rocky Mountain College, a small private college (about 900 students) located in Billings, Montana.  Lodging will be available on campus at Rimview Hall, which is an apartment-style facility with units of four bedrooms with a common kitchenette and living area.  The cost will be $24 per night.  If you are planning to stay at the college, please let Randy know as soon as possible; the college will need a number beforehand.  Campus recreation facilities (swimming pool, gym, exercise equipment, etc.) will be available for a fee of $6.50 to $10.00 for the time of the conference, depending on which facilities you wish to utilize.  Food service will also be available on campus.

  Billings is served by several major airlines; if you need a pick-up at the airport, please contact Randy.  There are also numerous motels in Billings; check your favorite travel websites for information.

  Please let us know if you plan to attend the conference, even if you are not planning to give a talk, so that we will know how many people to expect.
