About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the intricacies of the Otchipwe language, a language spoken by various indigenous communities, including the Chippewas, Ottawas, Potawatomis, and Algonquins, with subtle variations. It serves as a pioneering endeavor, being the first published dictionary of the Otchipwe language. The author acknowledges the inherent challenges of compiling a dictionary, especially for a language with limited prior documentation. Despite its potential imperfections, the dictionary aims to provide a valuable resource for understanding and utilizing the Otchipwe language. The author emphasizes the significance of studying the Otchipwe Grammar as a prerequisite to effectively using the dictionary, particularly due to the inclusion of only select formed substantives and verbs as examples for further derivation based on grammatical rules. The book meticulously explains the pronunciation of Indian words, drawing comparisons to English and French sounds for clarity. Additionally, it provides essential instructions on interpreting the dictionary entries, covering aspects such as verb conjugations, pluralization of substantives, and the treatment of passive verbs. By offering a comprehensive guide to the Otchipwe language, this book unlocks a deeper understanding of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of indigenous communities.

About the Author

Bishop Frederic Baraga was Chief among the Lake Superior area missionaries 1797-1868). Baraga, beginning in 1830, devoted thirty- six years of his life to the Ojibwa and Ottawa, chiefly at L'Anse (Michigan) on Keweenaw Bay. The narrative of his career is one long record of heroic sacrifice. His great grammar and dictionary is the accepted standard for the Ojibway language. The highly developed Ojibway language represents an organic understanding of nature. Many Ojibway words come from the natural sounds of the living forest. Frederick Baraga was the first linguist to study the Ojibway language
