    Chapter 5 A forgotten figure in Siouan and Caddoan linguistics: Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812–1880) Anthony Grant In the light of Bob Rankin’s Dhegiha work, this paper examines some of the earliest recorded material on Kanza and Osage, collected and transcribed by the natural- ist Samuel Stehman Haldeman in an alphabet of his own devising (Haldeman 1859; 1860). Although his transcriptions fail to capture many crucial phonetic and phone- mic distinctions, they are useful as records of earlier and more conservative forms of these languages. 1 Introduction Robert Rankin’s examinations of earlier sources on Native American languages which have rarely been the subject of fuller description impel us to look at the work of other early collectors of data on Siouan and Caddoan languages. We may mention for instance his paper on Max von Wied’s (1839–1841) brief vocabulary of Kaw, Kanza or Kansa (Rankin 1994), Nor should we overlook his splendid sal- vage work on Kanza (the name I will use henceforth in this paper) and Quapaw, and his pivotal role in the organization of the Siouan-Caddoan Conferences. One researcher is almost overlooked nowadays (despite a memoir by Lesley 1886 which hymns his activities while getting its dedicatee’s name wrong). The naturalist, sawmill manager and avocational linguist Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812–1880) was mostly known to the linguists in the 19th century for his ‘Ana- lytic Orthography’ (Haldeman 1859, also produced in book form as Haldeman 1860). This was a prizewinning attempt to construct a universal phonetic alpha- bet, based on Latin letters (and following some precepts of classical Ciceronian Latin pronunciation, for instance <C> for /k/ and <V> for /w/) but enhanced with some created symbols.

  • Traditional Caddo Stories—7Th Grade
    Caddo Traditional Stories Personal Thoughts: My experience this past summer at the workshop and camping down the road at Mission Tejas State Park reinvigorated a personal connection to history. Most authors of history have been men. So, the word history, is simply restated as his story. The collection of oral stories was a tremendous task for early scholars. Winners of conflicts were often the ones to write down the tales of soldiers and politicians alike. Tales of everyday life were equally complex as the tales of battle. With Caddo stories, the main characters were often based on animals. So, a Caddo story can be a historical narrative featuring the environment, culture, and time period. The sounds of nighttime crawlers of the 21st century are the same sounds heard by the Caddo of Caddo Mounds State Historic Site. The nighttime sky above the forests of pine, pecan, and oak is the same as back then. The past is all around us, we just have to take it in. About This Lesson General Citation This lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration files for Caddo Mounds State Historic Site (also known as the George C. Davis site) and materials prepared by the Texas Historical Commission. It was written by Kathy Lathen, a Texas educator with over a decade of classroom instructional experience. This lesson is one in a series that brings the important stories of historic places into classrooms across the country. Where is fits into Curriculum Topics and Time Period: This lesson could be incorporated with the Texas history unit on the historical era, Natural Texas and Its People (Prehistory to 1528).

  • The Lower Mississippi Valley As a Language Area
    The Lower Mississippi Valley as a Language Area By David V. Kaufman Submitted to the graduate degree program in Anthropology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Carlos M Nash ________________________________ Bartholomew Dean ________________________________ Clifton Pye ________________________________ Harold Torrence ________________________________ Andrew McKenzie Date Defended: May 30, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for David V. Kaufman certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Lower Mississippi Valley as a Language Area ________________________________ Chairperson Carlos M Nash Date approved: June 9, 2014 iii Abstract It has been hypothesized that the Southeastern U.S. is a language area, or Sprachbund. However, there has been little systematic examination of the supposed features of this area. The current analysis focuses on a smaller portion of the Southeast, specifically, the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV), and provides a systematic analysis, including the eight languages that occur in what I define as the LMV: Atakapa, Biloxi, Chitimacha, Choctaw-Chickasaw, Mobilian Trade Language (MTL), Natchez, Ofo, and Tunica. This study examines phonetic, phonological, and morphological features and ranks them according to universality and geographic extent, and lexical and semantic borrowings to assess the degree of linguistic and cultural contact.

Within such a “culture area”, languages and cultures have developed along similar lines due to shared circumstances and intergroup contact, and it is possible to make general statements which apply to all of the native groups, as opposed to groups which lie outside the area. Other such "culture areas" of North America include the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest (Kroeber 1939). The core of the Southeast culture area (Kroeber 1939:61-67, Swanton 1928) is the region that stretches from the Mississippi River east to the Atlantic, from the Gulf Coast to the border between Kentucky and Tennessee (or North Carolina and Virginia). The periphery of the Southeast includes territory as much as 200 miles west of the Mississippi (into Arkansas, Oklahoma, and East Texas), and as far north as the Ohio and Potomac rivers (including Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia).

The primary source of data for this survey was aquestionnaire distributed in the spring of 1973 to 61 universitiesand colleges in the U.S. and Canada. Other sources werepublications, conferences, and correspondence with individualsworking with these languages. An overview of the study of North American Indianlanguages is presented first, outlining the contributions of severalgenerations of linguists and leading up to a discussion ofthe present situation. Some current trends are identifiedthrough discussion of a representative group of recently instituted programs.Three appendices present the collected data. Appendix Alists American Indian language courses and other types of programsof 101 universities and colleges in the U.S. and Canada. InAppendix Of materials useful for the study of Amerindianlanguages are cited. Appendix C indicates persons who are makingsignificant contributions to tbe study of American Indianlanguages. Also included are statistics relating to the present neither ofspeakers in the major language groups and the recommendationsof the Conference on Priorities in American Indian Language Work,held in Eugene, Oregon, in August 1973* (Author/PMP) Aliamaarir.

  • Southeastern Languages
    Southeastern Languages JACK B. MARTIN Until the nineteenth century, no area of North America but the far west was as diverse linguistically as the Southeast. Spanning the central region from present Mississippi to Georgia were at least seven Muskogean languages, with Choctaw in the west and Creek in the east. In the north and in the west were Cherokee and Caddo, southern representatives of the Iroquoian and Caddoan families, respectively. The Timucuan languages Tawasa and Timucua reached into Florida, and four Siouan-Catawba languages were scattered in Mississippi, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.1 These five language families were accompanied by five language isolates (languages without close relatives) and one contact jargon (Table 1). In addition, several dozen groups spoke languages that were never sufficiently documented to classify (Table 2).2 At the dawn of the twenty-first century, ten native southeastern languages were spoken and two of these (Choctaw and Mikasuki) still had sizable numbers of children learning them. Surveys of southeastern languages include Mary R. Haas (1971, 1973, 1979a), James M. Crawford (1975), and Karen M. Booker (1991:ix-xiv). Marianne Mithun (1999) published short sketches and passages from several languages. Pamela Munro (1997) described the contributions of Mary R. Haas. Heather K. Hardy and Janine Scancarelli (to appear) include several language sketches. The standard bibliographies of southeastern languages are Pilling (1885, 1887, 1888, 1889) and Booker (1991). Major archives include the Smithsonian Institution’s National Anthropological Archives Martin, p. 1 (NAA), the American Philosophical Society (APS), the Oklahoma Historical Society, the University of Tulsa's McFarlin Library, the University of Oklahoma's Western History Collection, the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, and the American Bible Society in New York.3 Caddoan Languages In historic times, the Caddoan languages extended from South Dakota to southeastern Texas and western Louisiana.

  • A Forgotten Figure in Siouan and Caddoan Linguistics: Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812-1880) Anthony Grant
    Chapter 5 A forgotten figure in Siouan and Caddoan linguistics: Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812-1880) Anthony Grant In the light of Bob Rankin’s Dhegiha work, this paper examines some of the earliest recorded material on Kanza and Osage, collected and transcribed by the natural- ist Samuel Stehman Haldeman in an alphabet of his own devising (Haldeman 1859; 1860). Although his transcriptions fail to capture many crucial phonetic and phone- mic distinctions, they are useful as records of earlier and more conservative forms of these languages. 1 Introduction Robert Rankin’s examinations of earlier sources on Native American languages which have rarely been the subject of fuller description impel us to look at the work of other early collectors of data on Siouan and Caddoan languages. We may mention for instance his paper on Max von Wied’s (1839–1841) brief vocabulary of Kaw, Kanza or Kansa (Rankin 1994), Nor should we overlook his splendid sal- vage work on Kanza (the name I will use henceforth in this paper) and Quapaw, and his pivotal role in the organization of the Siouan-Caddoan Conferences. One researcher is almost overlooked nowadays (despite a memoir by Lesley 1886 which hymns his activities while getting its dedicatee’s name wrong). The naturalist, sawmill manager and avocational linguist Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812–1880) was mostly known to the linguists in the 19th century for his ‘Ana- lytic Orthography’ (Haldeman 1859, also produced in book form as Haldeman 1860). This was a prizewinning attempt to construct a universal phonetic alpha- bet, based on Latin letters (and following some precepts of classical Ciceronian Latin pronunciation, for instance <C> for /k/ and <V> for /w/) but enhanced with some created symbols.
