I had coffee with a Fulbright scholar the other day. She is a U.S. lady that is studying the vanishing languages of the Dakota, Lakota, Nakota and Assiniboia Indians here in Canada. Every funding agency in the U.S. turned her request down. Since the same Indians live here she applied to Canada and immediately got four grants which got her cash a car and an invitation to live on a Rez up here. No one bothered to tell the funding agency in Canada that the languages are no longer spoken in their original form and no one bothered to tell this knocked scholar that all the buffalo are gone and they ain't coming back. The real crime is no taxpayer was consulted to approve of the legitimacy of this area of study. Although to her credit she had a low opinion of Noam Chomsky. We live in a world where the media is spoon fed by experts, and any academic with an agenda qualifies.
