Curriculum vitae
Arok Wolvengrey was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada and studied Anthropology and Linguistics at the University of Saskatchewan before completing his Masters in Linguistics at the University of Manitoba in 1991. Initial work towards a doctorate in Cree Linguistics through the U of M was interrupted when he accepted a position as assistant professor in the Department of Indian, Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC; now the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv)) in Regina, Saskatchewan. After completing the compilation and publication of a two-volume Plains Cree-English bilingual dictionary in 2001, he continued his teaching, research and administrative work at SIFC/FNUniv, and resumed his (rather slow) pursuit of a doctorate through the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication. This latter work was facilitated by the supervision and belief of Professor Doctor Kees Hengeveld and two stays in Amsterdam (in 2005 and 2010) to begin, and bring to near completion, the drafting of this dissertation. Its final completion was acccomplished while juggling resumed duties in teaching and course development, and as Linguistics Coordinator at FNUniv and the University of Regina. Arok is looking forward to crossing at least one of his eighty-seven or so projects off the to-do list.
