*The program is derived from an email on the Siouan Listserv archive from Bob (https://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/siouan/2005-April/015265.html), where he listed the talks in alphabetical order, rather than by what date and time each presentation would occur. Any information from attendees on what times and days each speaker delivered their talk, as well as if there were any last-minute additions or removals from the program, would be greatly appreciated.
