Here's the latest from the California Language Archive:
- We hosted a visit by Patrick Burtt and Dillon McKay, sponsored by the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival, to consult archival materials related to Patwin (Wintuan; CA). They worked with the field notes of Elizabeth Bright and Kenneth Whistler (PhD 1980), as well as sound recordings made variously by Peter Abraham (1949, held by the Hearst Museum), E. Bright (1952), Donald Ultan (1961-1962), and Whistler (1975) with speakers Sara Gonzales, Nora Lowell, and Oscar McDaniel.
