Synopsis

This book presents a radical reexamination of the vocabulary and grammatical structure of the Mohawk language. The author draws upon primary source material from the 17th and 18th centuries to provide the basis for this in-depth analysis. The book is not merely a linguistic treatise, however, but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the culture and social organization of the Mohawk people during a critical period of their history. The author's insights into the relationship between language and culture, and the unique perspective gained by examining a language from a time before significant European influence, make this a highly significant work for scholars of linguistics, anthropology, and Native American studies.
