Description: Mary Haas did not complete her own fieldwork on Ofo, but did develop on the work of John R. Swanton, who produced among other things a Biloxi and Ofo dictionary (the topic of one of Haas' publications, Series 4 Subseries 3). As a result of the similarities between them, Ofo is often included alongside Biloxi and also Tutelo materials, in Series 2 and with comparisons with other languages in Series 9.

Description: Mary Haas conducted extensive fieldwork on Tunica with last speaker Sesostrie Youchigant, subsequently publishing a grammar as her PhD dissertation, and later texts and a dictionary. Fourteen field notebooks can be found in the dedicated subseries in Series 2, along with abundant grammatical and lexical notes and sheet music. Tunica was an integral part of Haas' comparative work on the Gulf hypothesis, so extensive comparisons can be found, especially in the lexical slip files of Series 9. Haas' Tunica work also contains more ethnographic notes than most of her files. Photographs of Sesostrie Youchigant are present in Series 11 and can be viewed at the Digital Library.
