A Concise Dictionary of the Ojibway Indian Language, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the world of the Ojibway Indians of the early 20th century. Compiled by the International Colportage Mission, it functions as both an English-Ojibway dictionary and an Ojibway-English dictionary, providing a vital tool for communication and understanding between English speakers and the Ojibway people. The book's publication reflects a broader historical context of missionary work and the effort to bring Christianity to Indigenous communities. The author includes a detailed pronunciation guide for both languages, highlighting the nuances of the Ojibway language and making the dictionary accessible for learners. Beyond the language, the dictionary provides a window into the Ojibway culture, revealing their understanding of the world through their words for animals, plants, weather phenomena, and daily activities. The inclusion of religious terms underscores the Mission's objective to spread Christian knowledge, yet the dictionary also serves a practical purpose by providing words for everyday life. The book's existence, and its multiple editions, speaks to the need for such resources and the complex relationship between English speakers and the Ojibway people during this era. This book offers a rich and insightful look at the Ojibway language and culture as they existed in the early 1900s. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332999934_0
