This dictionary of the Mountain Maidu (Native California) language includes more than twice as many entries as the only other Maidu dictionary, William Shipley's 1963 Maidu Texts and Dictionary. Words and place names were gathered from more than 20 sources and compiled into one volume with one orthography. The orthography used is the easy-to-read "fish-head" writing, invented by Maidu Farrell Cunningham. This dictionary consists of a detailed Maidu-English section, providing examples for many of the words, and each word's source is listed. This is followed by an extensive English-Maidu section and five appendices. The appendices include "Building Blocks of Maidu Words," and "Maps," a section of 5 maps of Plumas and Lassen Counties with Maidu place names. This dictionary is compatible with the fish-head version of Mountain Maidu Grammar, by the same author. You may have to search on "fish-head" to find that version on Amazon.

The Modern Maidu Workbook is for students of Mountain Maidu who want to bring back this almost-lost Native California language for everyday use. The Workbook tells how to recreate or invent missing words, with ten lessons on time-honored Maidu word-inventing techniques. The second half of the book consists of advanced practice dialogs (where we use the new words in sentences), translating popular songs into Maidu, texting in Maidu, using Maidu on social media, and a Modern Maidu dictionary of more than 7,000 new words that we invent or reclaim in the lessons. Appendices include preliminary comparisons of Mountain Maidu with Konkow and Nisenan (all Maiduan languages), a grammar review, and quotes from native speakers. It is assumed that the student has already completed the lessons in Mountain Maidu Grammar and has the Mountain Maidu Dictionary by the same author. These books were written to honor our late teacher, Farrell Cunningham, a Maidu whose dream it was to bring the language back.

Learn Mountain Maidu in 12 lessons. The Fish-head version is written in a unique orthography, which involves the special fish-head character. There is another version of this book in a more universal/standard orthography, which might be more appropriate for linguists. These two versions are exactly the same except for orthography. Each lesson has a set of vocabulary words, explanation of grammatical elements, exercises, and answers. The glossary at the end includes the vocabulary from the lessons. The lessons start with simple sentences in the "today" verb tense, and advance through asking questions, commands and exhortations, derivation, pronouns, past and future verb tenses, complex sentences, and expressing possibility. This is a book for everyday people wanting to revive the language, as well as linguists interested in language structure. The grammar is based on William Shipley's collection of Texts (1963) as well as the teachings of native speaker Farrell Yatam Cunningham.
