*The program is derived from an email on the Siouan Listserv archive from Randy (https://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/siouan/2006-June/016131.html). I do not know what days each person presented their paper, and I am unsure if any other papers were read at this meeting. Any assistance from attendees would be helpful in piecing together a more complete picture of this meeting.

**Paper read in absentia by Carolyn Quintero.

***It is not clear what the name of this student at KU was, nor what the title of this paper was.
