The Library's "Meet the Author" Lecture Series presents Eric Elliott

A lecture by Dr. Eric Elliott, Head Linguist of the Takic Language Revitalization Program, will take place on February 6th, 2003 from 3-4:30 PM on the fourth floor of the Rivera Library. The program is a Costo Partnership between UCR and the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. In the past fifteen years, Elliott has worked on documenting the Luiseño, Serrano, and Cahuilla languages, resulting in three major publications. These publications include "Yumáyk Yumáyk," a fourteen hundred page series of Luiseño and English bilingual texts; "Wayta’ Yawa," a nine hundred page series of Serrano and English bilingual texts; and "‘ísill Héqwas Wáxisj,” a thirteen-hundred page collection of Cahuilla and English bilingual texts.
