    Nominations solicited for the Ken Hale Prize ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SSILA's Ken Hale Prize, being inaugurated this year, is presented annually in recognition of outstanding community language work and a deep commitment to the documentation, preservation and reclamation of indigenous languages in the Americas. The Prize (which carries a small monetary stipend and is not to be confused with the LSA's Kenneth Hale Book Award) will honor those who strive to link the academic and community spheres in the spirit of Ken Hale, and recipients will range from native speakers and community-based linguists to academic specialists, and may include groups or organizations. No academic affiliation is necessary.

    Nominations for the award may be made by anyone, and should include a letter of nomination stating the current position and affiliation (tribal, organizational, or academic) of the nominee or nominated group, and a summary of the nominee's background and contributions to specific language communities. The nominator should also submit a brief port- folio of supporting materials, such as the nominee's curriculum vitae, a description of completed or on-going activities of the nominee, letters from those who are most familiar with the work of the nominee (e.g. language program staff, community people, academic associates), and any other material that would support the nomination. Submission of manuscript-length work is discouraged.

    The nomination packet should be sent to the chair of the Committee:

    Sara Trechter Linguistics Program/English Department California State University, Chico Chico, CA 95929-0830

    Inquiries can be e-mailed to Sara Trechter at (strechtercsuchico.edu). The deadline for receipt of nominations has been extended to October 15, 2002.

    The 2002 Ken Hale Prize will be announced at the next annual meeting of SSILA, in Atlanta, in January 2003. The other members of this year's selection committee are Randolph Graczyk and Nora England.
