For the past 20 years, tribal youth grades 8-12 have taken on Childhood Obesity, Suicide and Bullying Prevention, Drug Abuse, and Domestic Violence in their communities. The Youth Council has produced PSAs, workshops, and presentations that have been done on local, tribal, state, and national levels and also hold the annual Bike the Sites event, a 47-mile bicycle ride to raise awareness on Childhood Obesity and its effects.

A Synthesis of Obviation in Algonquian Languages
A Synthesis of Obviation in Algonquian Languages by Irina Volchok A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Linguistics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright© 2019 Irina Volchok iii Abstract One of the most prominent features of the Algonquian languages of North America is obviation, a third person referencing system. Although it has been known for nearly 400 years, linguists are still debating about its role and function. This work seeks to synthesize what is already known about obviation and what is still unresolved. More specifically, it looks at the syntactic and discourse working principles of obviation in different types of noun phrases, and in single, conjoined, complement, and adverbial clauses, as well as in narratives and in elicitation. iv Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... iv Chapter I: Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Geographical Location of Algonquian Languages ................................................................ 1 1.2 Classification of Algonquian Languages ........................................................................... -
Santa Fe Trail
Santa Fe Trail THE OLD SANTA FE TRAIL The Story of a Great Highway By COLONEL HENRY INMAN Late Assistant Quartermaster, United States Army With a Preface by W. F. "BUFFALO BILL" CODY PREFACE. As we look into the open fire for our fancies, so we are apt to study the dim past for the wonderful and sublime, forgetful of the fact that the present is a constant romance, and that the happenings of to-day which we count of little importance are sure to startle somebody in the future, and engage the pen of the historian, philosopher, and poet. Accustomed as we are to think of the vast steppes of Russia and Siberia as alike strange and boundless, and to deal with the unkown interior of Africa as an impenetrable mystery, we lose sight of a locality in our own country that once surpassed all these in virgin grandeur, in majestic solitude, and in all the attributes of a tremendous wilderness. The story of the Old Santa Fe Trail, so truthfully recalled by Colonel Henry Inman, ex-officer of the old Regular Army, in these pages, is a most thrilling one. The vast area through which the famous highway ran is still imperfectly known to most people as "The West"; a designation once appropriate, but hardly applicable now; for in these days of easy communication the real trail region is not so far removed from New York as Buffalo was seventy years ago. At the commencement of the "commerce of the prairies," in the early portion of the century, the Old Trail was the arena of almost constant sanguinary struggles between the wily nomads of the desert and the Page 1 Santa Fe Trail hardy white pioneers, whose eventful lives made the civilization of the vast interior region of our continent possible. -

68 the Sutaio Dialect of Cheyenne: a Discussion of the Evidence Ives Goddard Smithsonian Institution
68 The Sutaio dialect of Cheyenne: A Discussion of the Evidence Ives Goddard Smithsonian Institution The Sutaio1 became incorporated into the Cheyenne tribe in the protohistoric period. By tradition they were encountered by the Cheyenne somewhere on the Plains, and just as a fight was breaking out the two groups recognized that they spoke the same language and agreed not to fight, but to join together. Just exactly what the Sutaio spoke and how different it was from Cheyenne has been a mystery ever since. This paper reviews the few scraps of infor mation that exist on Sutaio and the problem of to what extent elements of Sutaio origin may have been incorporated into the Cheyenne language as we know it today. It appears that the only data obtained from Cheyennes who claimed to have learned some Sutaio from Sutaio speakers at a time when older Sutaio still spoke the language are in notes of George Bird Grinnell and Truman Michelson collected in the early years of this century. Grinnell's data are in a letter to William Jones of April 21, 1905 (Grinnell 1905). A note indicates that he obtained his information among the Southern Cheyenne in 1901. This seems to be the best Sutaio on record and the most likely, of what is available, to represent genuine examples of what the Sutaio spoke. The forms and phrases given are clearly volunteered, rather than elicited. Since it is most likely that they were remembered because of their divergence from the corresponding Cheyenne expressions, they probably present an exaggerated picture of the degree of difference between the two forms of speech. -
AMP Proceedings Vogel Revised
A Unified Account of Two Vowel Devoicing Phenomena: the Case of Cheyenne Rachel Vogel* Cornell University 1 Introduction Vowel devoicing has been the subject of typological investigation as far back as Greenberg 1969, and more recently in Gordon 1998 and Chitoran and Marsico 2010. This work has demonstrated that both phonetic and phonological processes of vowel devoicing across the world’s languages typically fit into one of the following two categories in terms of the environments in which they occur: a) adjacent to voiceless consonants, and b) adjacent to the right edge of a prosodic domain. It is also possible for one process to fit into both categories at the same time, as is the case in Brazilian Portuguese, in which word-final devoicing occurs only in vowels that are both adjacent to the right edge of a word and to a voiceless consonant (Walker and Mendes 2019). Aside from some domain-final cases, however, vowel devoicing adjacent to voiceless consonants is typically a domain-span process, targeting any vowel in the right segmental environment (with limited exceptions noted in Section 2 of this paper). This paper investigates two vowel devoicing processes in Cheyenne, an Algonquian language spoken in Montana and Oklahoma (Leman 2011). The first process, phrase-final devoicing (PFD), occurs in any word- final vowel at the end of what has been described as the phonological phrase (e.g., [návóómo méʃe̥ ] ‘I see the woodtick,’ Leman and Rhodes 1978). It is thus consistent with typological expectations and, as will be discussed in this paper, phonetically grounded. The second process, referred to as penultimate devoicing (PD) in the Cheyenne literature, occurs before voiceless consonants, but only in the penultimate syllable of some words (e.g., in [vóhpomaʔo̥ htse] ‘salt’ but not [mo̥ hoʔohtse] ‘part of Ursa Major,’ Fisher et al. -

Remarks on Cheyenne Obviation and Pluralization Wayne Leman In Cheyenne,! as in other Algonquian languages, when two or more third person nominals are in the same sentence or "contextual span" (Wolfart 1973:17), one of the nominals must be treated as "nearer" or more "in focus" than the other third-person nominal(sJ. The nearer person is called the "proximate" form while any other(s) is said to be "obviate" (sometimes called a "fourth-person"). The proximate nominal can function as the "topic" of a discourse segment, or "the person earlier spoken of and already known" (Rloomfield 1962:38). The marking of one or more nominals as obviatives is called "obviation". We can see some of the discourse-related functions of obviation in the following beginning lines from a Cheyenne story about a ground squirrel and a turtle.2 mehne-vohkaho?heso3 naa ma?eno3 e-sta-eve-amehnehoono33• ground squirrel3 and turitle3 they33 were walking along A ground squirrel and a turtle were walking along.
