Description:Speakers of Wichita were gathered for a meal and a chance to "talk Wichita" with each other for about two hours. This session records only the opening prayer which was offered for the success of the evening and the well-being of the participants.
The project is to videotape the last speakers of Wichita talking in and about their language, history over the last century, and culture. Videotapes were made in the summer of 2002 in Anadarko, Oklahoma.
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'monologue', Discursive = 'prayer', Performance = 'oratory'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
After prompting in English by the linguist, Doris offers a prayer for the welfare of the group and the success of the activity to be undertaken that evening.
After initial prompting in English by the linguist, the Wichita speaker prays exclusively in Wichita.
Rood is the linguist on the project. Doris is the most fluent speaker in the group, and the most willing to speak. She was raised by grandparents and in her youth used Wichita for all communication around the home. In recent years she has been the primary resource person for the tribe's language classes.
Rood is the linguist on the project. He has been working with Wichita since about 1967.
