For the last three years, the route from Boston to Bellingham WA to Din\u00e9 Bik\u00e9yah (Navajoland) to Boston has come to define Wayne O’Neil’s summers.<\/p>\n

During the summer now ending, Wayne taught a three-week course on Navajo phonology at the summer workshop of the Navajo Language Academy (6-24 July). Nearly all of the twenty or so 2009 workshop participants were Navajo teachers of the language and fluent speakers of Navajo.<\/p>\n

NLA’s summer workshops are held annually at various Din\u00e9 Bik\u00e9yah venues — NLA 2009 being located at Din\u00e9 College near the high desert, intersection of Indian Roads 12 and 64 (Tsaile AZ, pop. about 1000).<\/p>\n

The course was based on Ken Hale and Lorraine Honie’s unpublished Introduction to the sound system of Navajo (no date [1972?]), as revised and expanded by Wayne during spring 2009. Since returning from his NLA work, Wayne has continued to revise and expand the Hale-Honie ms., with a view toward making it available through the NLA.<\/p>\n

(Hale and Honie’s ms. can be found at , from which there is also a link to [NLA’s home page](http:\/\/www.swarthmore.edu\/SocSci\/tfernal1\/nla\/nla.htm). As for Lorraine Honie [Navajo], she was briefly a graduate student in this department in the early 1970s; she is now at [Rough Rock Community School, Rough Rock AZ](http:\/\/www.roughrock.bia.edu\/).)<\/p>\n

Immediately prior to working at Din\u00e9 College, Wayne participated in the third annual [Western Washington University Linguistics in Education workshop (WWULiE-2009) in Bellingham WA](http:\/\/wwulie.blogspot.com\/2009\/03\/july-1-2-2009-3rd-annual-wwulie_16.html).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
