Hitchiti language materials

Hitchiti is a variety of the Mikasuki/Elaponke language. Unlike other varieties of Mikasuki/Elaponke, there are no modern speakers, but we have documentation of Hitchiti in the form of a collection of short stories written down by Willie Haney, and a text called the Kasihta Legend. This page is incomplete, but will eventually contain navigable translations of all of the texts.

The original texts are available at XXX [citations? links?], and their renderings here are the work of XXX [Ian, do you want to be credited by name?] and Seth Katenkamp
