2009 SACC inquiry

[Mark J Awakuni-Swetland]

Aloha all,

John and Johannes: How goes the CSGrammar workshop agenda for the SACC 
meeting in Lincoln?

I am gathering lodging options information. 
I've received quotes ranging from $94-$109+tax double within walking 
distance of city campus, 
to $80+tax double driving a mile or so, 
to $52+tax double driving three miles.

What would be your choice of lodging cost range?

The high end, close to campus hotel includes a full breakfast grill. 
Catherine, you stayed at the Embassy Suites last time you were in Lincoln, 
enit?

Campus dorms are already booked for various youth summer camps.

Does anyone want me to check on campground options?

We can meet on campus in Anthro dept space that will accommodate our usual 
numbers of participants. The space has all of the instructional 
technology.

I would like to circulate a call for papers by late Friday.

My working agenda for the SACC looks like this:

Wednesday early bird supper somewhere.

Thursday-Friday CSG workshop organized by J&J with some plan for supper 
somewhere each night for those who want to continue the conversation.

Saturday morning: mixed topic papers

Saturday afternoon: Native language instruction workshop, round table, 
whatever (something similar to the presentations made by the Osage , NICC, 
and Hochank programs last year).

Several Native language instruction programs are already on the SiouanList 
and are cordially invited to participate.

I am thinking of extending invitations to the Nebraska Indian Community 
College program at Macy, the UmoNhoN Nation Public School UmoNhoN Language 
and Culture Profram at Macy, Little Priest College at Winnebago, and the 
Sinte Gleska program in South Dakota.

Does anyone have other programs that may not be on the List?

Saturday evening the Lincoln Indian Club is scheduled to host a social 
activity (maybe hand game and dance w/evening meal). I am the Public 
Relations Officeer for the club. I could ask the club to extend an 
invitation to the SACC folks. I would anticipate that everyone would be 
welcome to attend, and would be able to leave early if they wanted. The 
caveat is that I would have no way to nail down WHEN supper would be 
served. I expect the native attendees would go to the event and stay. An 
alternate idea would be to meet for supper somewhere, then individuals can 
decide to drop in on the club event later.

Sunday morning: mixed topic papers

Please forward suggestions as to where the call for papers should be sent.

Many thanks.
