DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe original edition of this important grammar of the Abenaki language was first published in 1884 by Joseph Laurent (Sozap Lol Kizitgw), chief of the Indian village of St. Francis, P.Q., Canada. Its full original title was New familiar Abenakis and English dialogues, the first vocabulary ever published in the Abenakis language, comprising: the Abenakis alphabet, the key to the pronunciation and many grammatical explanations, also synoptical illustrations showing the numerous modifications of the Abenakis verb, &c.: to which is added the etymology of Indian names of certain localities, rivers, lakes, &c., &c. Today the Abenaki language is seriously endangered and is only spoken by a few elders in Southern Quebec, although there is an active interest in its revitalization. It is a member of the Algonquin family of First Nations (Native American) Languages and is related to a number of languages spoken, or once spoken, in New England and Eastern Canadian."

Ah! the waves come in. Take down the sail. It will be dreadful; let us go towards the shore, lest we perish. Is there a river near? A small river comes in near here; we will fly there. Steer for that place, Sam. Now we are out of danger. A dreadful time! See, how the lake looks! We will perhaps be long wind-bound here. Let us pitch the tent here, boys, it will rain; it is cloudy. It is raining now. Bring in our luggage. We must start early in morning, if it is fine weather. 12. Usual conversation between two Indians, when they meet together in their hunting ground. Halloo! halloo!! I am glad to see you, how do you do? I am very well, and you? I am very well, thank you. What luck have you had? I have been very lucky this week. I have caught twenty beavers and five otters. Did you catch any minks? I have caught sixteen. I have also killed a bear. Was he fat? Very fat. And you, what luck have you had? How is your ground? is there plenty of beaver? Not much; but there is plenty of moose. How many moose did you kill? Twenty-two. Well, that's very good. You must have also caught few beavers. Yes, I have caught ten. Now, tell me when you intend to go down. I think I shall go down sometime next week. I wish I could get ready by that time, so as to go home with you. If you like to come down with me, I will wait for you at L6ng Lake. That's all right. Now let us part. Good-bye. Grood-bye, take care of yourself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDawnland Voices calls attention to the little-known but extraordinarily rich literary traditions of New England’s Native Americans. This pathbreaking anthology includes both classic and contemporary literary works from ten New England indigenous nations: the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Schaghticoke, and Wampanoag. Through literary collaboration and recovery, Siobhan Senier and Native tribal historians and scholars have crafted a unique volume covering a variety of genres and historical periods. From the earliest petroglyphs and petitions to contemporary stories and hip-hop poetry, this volume highlights the diversity and strength of New England Native literary traditions. Dawnland Voices introduces readers to the compelling and unique literary heritage in New England, banishing the misconception that “real” Indians and their traditions vanished from that region centuries ago.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA wide-ranging, multidisciplinary look at Native American literature through non-narrative texts like lists, albums, recipes, and scrapbooks Kelly Wisecup offers a sweeping account of early Native American literatures by examining Indigenous compilations: intentionally assembled texts that Native people made by juxtaposing and recontextualizing textual excerpts into new relations and meanings. Experiments in reading and recirculation, Indigenous compilations include Mohegan minister Samson Occom’s medicinal recipes, the Ojibwe woman Charlotte Johnston’s poetry scrapbooks, and Abenaki leader Joseph Laurent’s vocabulary lists. Indigenous compilations proliferated in a period of colonial archive making, and Native writers used compilations to remake the very forms that defined their bodies, belongings, and words as ethnographic evidence. This study enables new understandings of canonical Native writers like William Apess, prominent settler collectors like Thomas Jefferson and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and Native people who contributed to compilations but remain absent from literary histories. Long before current conversations about decolonizing archives and museums, Native writers made and circulated compilations to critique colonial archives and foster relations within Indigenous communities.
