Contributions to North American Ethnology V7: A Dakota-English Dictionary is a comprehensive dictionary compiled by Stephen Return Riggs in 1892. The dictionary is focused on the Dakota language, which is spoken by the Dakota people, who are indigenous to North America. The book is part of a larger series of ethnological works that were published by the United States government in the late 19th century. The dictionary contains over 10,000 entries, with each entry providing the Dakota word and its English translation. The book also includes a detailed introduction that provides information on the Dakota people, their culture, and their language. The introduction also discusses the process of compiling the dictionary and the challenges that were faced during this process. The dictionary is an important resource for linguists, anthropologists, and historians who are interested in the Dakota language and culture. It provides a detailed look at the vocabulary and grammar of the Dakota language, as well as insights into the way that the Dakota people lived and interacted with the world around them. Overall, Contributions to North American Ethnology V7: A Dakota-English Dictionary is an essential resource for anyone who is interested in the Dakota language and culture, and it remains an important reference work for scholars and researchers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
