	Havasu 'Baaja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Havasupai (Havasu 'Baaja) are a Native American tribe inhabiting the western Grand Canyon area in the U.S. state of Arizona.
		The Havasupai have lived in the area for hundreds of years (since roughly A.D.

		The 518 acre reservation covers only about 10 percent of the tribe's aboriginal lands (primarily in Havasu Canyon), and the tribe was forced to rely almost entirely on farming.

	Language Ecology Course Proposal
		Since language is the primary medium through which a society articulates its culture and history, and provides the cognitive structure through which its people apprehend their world, language death on this new scale has consequences that transcend all parochial boundaries.
		Language ideologies have a basic impact on language ecology, by altering the degree to which speaking populations strive to reinforce, expand, or abandon use of given languages, with an array of associated changes in the form and social life of the languages.
		Language is fundamental to human cognition, and the dynamics studied in language ecology are consequent on the cognitive dimensions of speech, practical reasoning, and thinking for speaking (Slobin 1987, 1991).

	THEORY OF LINGUISTIC DERIVATION: CONTINUING STUDY
		Menomini is the only language I have observed, to date, in which there is one voiced fricative allophone of one phoneme that does not occur in all instances of the phoneme sequence in which it does occur.
		The Menomini language was classified as a language in which voiced fricative phones were rare because it is the only language known to the author in which a voiced fricative allophone occurs, but does not occur in every instance of the the phonetic sequence in which it does occur.
		The language of the three groups includes voiced fricative allophones, and the numerically largest group, the Yavapai, was, according to my evaluation, based on the observations of the three tribes by anthropologists, the most violent.

		“The worship of the Havasupai consists of prayers, made during their smokes, or at the hunting shrines, which are merely groups of rude pictographs along nooks or caves in the walls of the canyon.
		“The Havasupai believes that the source of his river is sacred and pure; that polluted by the touch of man it would cease to give forth its waters, and the rocks of the canyon would close forever together.
		This was the canyon of the Havasupai; and down in a grotto, under the falls, lived a great goddess, Ka-mu-iu-dr-ma-gui-iu-e-ba, or ‘Mother of the Waters.’ She was wooed by the rattlesnakes, and bore two sons, Ha-ma-u-giu-iu-e-ba, or ‘Children of the Waters.’ Upon the head of each was a great flint knife.
