Siouan list management team

[Greer, Jill]

Aloha!
Prayers and best wishes, this time from an Ioway gentleman  who asked me to tell you his prayers and good thoughts were coming your way.   He didn’t know you personally, but had read your book on Omaha sacred traditions, and appreciated your respectful and humble attitude as the author.    Your careful scholarship  is meaningful to so many people.

Ida manyi ho, Wakhanda,  ‘(Please) Be here among us, God! ‘ as the late Rev. Arthur Lightfoot so beautifully sang the verse of a NAC song in Jiwere-Baxoje.

Pi dana ke.  Everthing can always  become better.

Late IOM Elders (were one in saying): Itun Wakanda, irogre broge uxre mañi hñe ke (First God, next everything will continue to follow).

Mark, there are so many of us that are one with you in heart, mind and prayer.

Hello all,

This is Rory typing.  I’m with Mark in his office right now, and we are working out how to manage the Siouan list going forward.  Mark is somewhat visually impaired at present, and can’t do the typing stuff, but otherwise is very much on the ball.

Mark:  Due to health issues (being practically blind), I want to make sure list functions are not impaired.  List members (Rory Larson and Loren Frerichs) have agreed/volunteered/stepped forward to assist.  Now we have a UNL-based management team.  We will figure out a way to contact us.

Rory:  This morning I met with Loren Frerichs, a former Omaha student of ours and a computer guru with godly powers over the listserv.  He made the two of us co-owners, along with Mark, over the Siouan list.  So in the future, either of us should also work for setting up new accounts, etc.

Mark:  We will go through all pending requests and act on them.  If we fail to find your request, or your students’ request, give us a shout!

Mark and Rory
