We have an opportunity to “piggyback” next year’s Siouan and Caddoan Linguistics Conference (SCLC) on this workshop.  We would likely be able to get one media-enhanced room that held up to 40-50 people from e.g. 9-5 on June 15-17, the Friday, Saturday, and half of Sunday preceding the “Co-Lang workshop”.  Inexpensive “student housing” may also be available.  This arrangement would enable the workshop participants to see some of the results of “real” field investigation and language maintenance/revival efforts.  Siouanists would also be able to interact with workshop participants.  This seems to me to be a good opportunity, especially since none of our number at this year’s conference volunteered to host the meeting next year.
