OWNAL: Saturday and Sunday, April 18-19 2009, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, OK

 

The Center for Tribal Studies at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK, announces its 2nd annual Oklahoma Workshop on Native American Languages. OWNAL focuses on descriptive studies of indigenous languages of the Americas. This weekend workshop takes place at the end of the 37th Annual Symposium of the American Indian (April 15-18, 2009) and is located in the historic Bacone house, site of the first Indian university west of the Mississippi. After the Saturday workshop, participants may attend the Saturday Powwow that brings together well-known fancy dancers and local Oklahoma tribes. The deadline for abstracts is January 30. Talks are 20 minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes for questions. Dr. Marianne Mithun will deliver a keynote address on Saturday. Abstracts should be less than 500 words and may be submitted by email.  Contact details, institutional affiliation, and title (professor, student, or independent scholar) must be included. The program committee will announce the presentation schedule no later than February 20. Abstracts and questions may be submitted to Brad Montgomery-Anderson (montgomb at nsuok.edu <mailto:montgomb at nsuok.edu> ). Registration: $40, $20 for students. (This fee is primarily a fundraiser for the symposium; it also pays for refreshments and a catered lunch. Make checks payable to NSU with 'Center for Tribal Studies-OWNAL' in the memo).
