Dakota Grammar, Texts and Ethnography (1852) is the ninth volume of a nine-part series, Contributions to North American Ethnology (all available from Cosimo Classics). This book is organized into three parts: Part I provides an extensive description of three elements of the grammar of the Dakota language: phonology, morphology, and syntax, Part II contains ten stories written as told by native speakers and including full English translations, along with two Christian prayers, and Part III is an ethnography consisting of seven chapters that discuss various aspects of the Dakota history and culture. This book offers a critical contribution to the history of Native Americans and is a must-read for anthropologists, linguists, and students of Native American history.
