Hello again BULA members! We have a slew of cool events coming up this
November.
The first is a film screening sponsored by the American and New English Studies
Program *TODAY Monday Nov 7th at 6:30 pm in CAS 313*. The movie is called
"We Still Live Here, *Âs Nutayuneân" and *tells a remarkable story of
cultural revival by the Wampanoag Indians of Southeastern Massachusetts.
Their ancestors ensured the survival of the first English settlers in
America, the 'Pilgrims,' and lived to regret it. Spurred on by their
intrepid linguist Jessie Little Doe Baird, they are now saying loud and
clear, and in their Native tongue, "Âs Nutayuneân," - "We Still Live
Here."Trailer:

Our next discussion group will be this *Thursday Nov 10th at 7pm in CAS114b.
** *We will be discussing language and the brain with the hope that we
will be able to get together with the Mind and Brain Society for a joint
discussion some time in the near future! We also encourage anyone who went
to BUCLD this weekend to tell us about any interesting talks on language
acquisition they may have seen.
Our much anticipated Bananagrams/Scrabble Tournament is being held on
*Wednesday
Nov 16th at 7pm in the GSU Academy Room*. This will be a fun way to meet
other members and show off your word game abilities. Please bring any
Bananagrams or Scrabble sets you own so we can have multiple games going at
once. RSVP at the Facebook event:
