31st Annual Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference

The 31st annual Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference will take place 
June 15-18, 2011. It is hosted by the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska at 
the George Ogden Building, 3345 Thrasher Road, White Cloud, Kansas, 66094.

The conference will include two days (June 15-16) of academic 
presentations, including comparative Siouan grammar, and two days (June 
17-18) of presentations on applied linguistics and community language 
revitalization. Dinner will be provided on June 17 at an evening social 
gathering.

Call for papers: We invite presentations on any aspect of Siouan and 
Caddoan languages. The final date to submit an abstract is May 1, 2011. It 
would be appreciated if those who are planning a presentation could let us 
know sooner rather than later for scheduling purposes. Presentations are 
20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for questions.

Registration: Registration will take place at the conference. A $20 
conference fee will help cover associated costs. This fee is waived for 
enrolled tribal members.

Accommodations: The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska is offering 
conference rates for their casino cabins and motel. For reservations, call 
660-442-3267 or 1-866-994-1320.
