- Aert_H._Kuipers abstract "Aert Hendrik Kuipers (born 1919 in the former village of Oostkapelle, Zeeland, Netherlands) is a linguistics professor who, from his pioneering field work among First Nations people of British Columbia during the 1950s, compiled the first detailed reference grammars of Squamish and Shuswap, two almost extinct Salishan languages now being revived. (Squamish, in the Coast Salish subgroup, is now informally taught in some North Vancouver schools through Oregon linguist Evan Gardner's "Where Are Your Keys?" program, while Shuswap, in the Interior Salish subgroup, is now again being taught at the Sk'elep elementary school in Kamloops and the Chief Atahm School at Adams Lake.)From 1951 till 1954 Kuipers was on the faculty of the University of British Columbia. During those years, as well as in the course of a 1956 field trip, he collected extensive material on the Squamish language. From 1960 till 1983 Kuipers taught linguistics at Leiden University; after 1971 he was a professor in the department of Slavic languages and culture, specializing in Caucasian languages.Kuipers has a strong commitment to helping to preserve a record of threatened and endangered languages. As an article in The Economist poignantly put it: "Aert Kuipers ... went to Canada recently with the intention of locating and preserving American Indian languages. He came across dozens, some limited to a single valley, others spoken by only a few dozen people. He settled on one, learnt it and put together a dictionary and a primer. But by the time he had finished there was only one other speaker of the language left."".
