*This institution has been renamed the First Nations University of Canada, going by SIFC from its establishment in 1976 until June 2003. Since this program reflects the affiliations of each individual at the time of the conference, the former name of this institution is left as-is.

**This program reflects what was posted to the Siouan Listserv by John Koontz (https://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/siouan/1999-June/009899.html). If there were any changes to this program, please let me know so I can fix them. John reports that there were between 25 and 30 individuals in attendance.
