Siri Tuttle served as director of the Alaska Native Language Center and has worked with the Alaska Native Language Archive to preserve and provide access to a vast collection of manuscripts and recordings documenting Alaska's rich linguistic history. She is an Athabascan languages specialist with special interests in prosody -- tone, stress, and intonation. Her dissertation research on the Tanana language was done here in Fairbanks. Since receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1998, Siri has studied San Carlos and Jicarilla Apache data at the Phonetics Laboratory at UCLA and pursued questions in Navajo, Kaska, Ahtna, and Galice Athabascan at the Technische Universität Berlin. Her present projects involve description and language revitalization in Ahtna and Lower Tanana.
