Description:no recording of this text
The overall goal of the project is the documentation and preservation of the Hoocąk language. The project therefore includes the following sub-projects: (1) (audio- and video-)recording, analysing, processing and archiving a representative corpus of Hoocąk texts, (2) linguistic analysis and representation of texts that have previously been recorded by other linguists or anthropologists, (3) development of a comprehensive and linguistically consistent lexicon, (4) training of Hoocąk language instructors, (5) development of teaching material (6) further analyses (e.g. investigation of dialectal differences among Wisconsin and Nebraska Hoocąks)
Keremanishak (member of the Medicine Rite) visits an Iowa and takes presents for him and his family along. In return the Iowa wants to give Keremanishak a present. In order to receive it Keremanishak was told to go back home and sleep for 4 nights. After this time the Iowa came along and offered Keremanishak to choose between a child's and a woman's pouch. Keremanishak chose the latter since the former was beyond his power.
