For the Ojibwe language to live it must be used for everything every day. While most Ojibwe people live in a modern world, dominated by computers, motors, science, mathematics, and global issues, the language that has grown to discuss these things is not often taught or thought about by most teachers and students of the language. A group of nine fluent elders representing several different dialects of Ojibwe gathered with teachers from Ojibwe immersion schools and university language programs to brainstorm and document less-well-known but critical modern Ojibwe terminology. Topics discussed include science, medicine, social studies, geography, mathematics, and punctuation. This book is the result of their labors.

The language of the Tohono O'odham (formerly known as Papago) and Pima Indians is an important subfamily of Uto-Aztecan spoken by some 14,000 people in southern Arizona and northern Sonora. This dictionary is a useful tool for native speakers, linguists, and any outsiders working among those peoples. The second edition has been expanded to more than 5,000 entries and enhanced by a more accessible format. It includes full definitions of all lexical items; taxonomic classification of plants and animals; restrictive labels; a pronunciation guide; an etymology of loan words; and examples of usage for affixes, idioms, combining forms, and other items peculiar to the Tohona O'odham-Pima language. Appendixes contain information on phonology, kinship and cultural terms, the numbering system, time, and the calendar. Maps and charts define the locations of place names, reservations, and the complete language family. Reviews of the first edition: "Linguists and anthropologists will value this splendidly organized summarization."—Library Journal "Dictionaries of American Indian languages are relatively rare. Practical dictionaries which serve laymen and which are simultaneously of use to professional linguists are fewer. This dictionary falls into the latter category and is one of the most successful of its kind."—Choice

"This book would be an important enough document if it only collected the memories and cultural wisdom of one of the most respected of the Anishinaabe elders living in Minnesota, Naawigiizis, Jim Clark. It is even more valuable in that it captures his remarkable impressions not just in English, Jim's second language, but also presents several stories in Ojibwe, his first language--and for good measure, gives us two stories only in Ojibwe. All readers have a first person account of growing up in two cultures in the early decades of the 20th century as the Ojibwe people struggled to keep their traditions in the face of the mounting pressures to assimilate into White culture. People who know or are learning the Ojibwe language, and want to preserve it, also have a vital record of a way of thinking and speaking that embodies these traditions as no mere artifact can"--Back cover.
