Sunday, June 13, 2004

(There is no listed schedule for this day in the program posted to the Siouan Listserv (https://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/siouan/2004-June/014368.html), so it is unclear if this day was purely the business meeting or that talks were rearranged to end on Saturday due to the cancelation of two talks by Vida Stabler (Umoⁿhoⁿ Nation School) and Randolph Graczyk (St. Charles Mission).)

*Mary did not present the paper in a formal talk, but gave versions of it at various meals and coffee breaks.
