SCLC 5 was held in Tulsa, OK from May 24 through May 25, 1985. It was hosted by the Anthropology Department at the University of Tulsa.* The program from this year appears below:

Friday, May 24, 1985 & Saturday, May 25, 1985**

*I do not have information on the identity of the organizer(s) for this year’s conference. If anyone knows who actually organized the SCLC this year, please let me know.

**This program reflects what was posted by Ardis Eschenberg (https://web.archive.org/web/20030919062609/http://wings.buffalo.edu/linguistics/ssila/SACCweb/SACC5.htm). This site has only talks (Bob’s, John’s, and Richard’s). Willem de Reuse’s “One hundred years of Lakota linguistics” paper in the Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics (https://journals.ku.edu/kwpl/article/view/17279/15554) cites other talks and an additional day’s length to this conference, so I have added those talks here. There are currently no handouts from SCLC 6 present in Bob’s NAA papers. Any attendees who have insight into this program are invited to reach out to clarify the program above.
