  • The Morphology of Modern Western Abenaki
    The Morphology of Modern Western Abenaki Jesse Beach ‘04 Honors Thesis Dartmouth College Program of Linguistics & Cognitive Science Primary Advisor: Prof. David Peterson Secondary Advisor: Prof. Lindsay Whaley May 17, 2004 Acknowledgements This project has commanded a considerable amount of my attention and time over the past year. The research has lead me not only into Algonquian linguistics, but has also introduced me to the world of Native American cultures. The history of the Abenaki people fascinated me as much as their language. I must extnd my fullest appreciate to my advisor David Peterson, who time and again proposed valuable reference suggestions and paths of analysis. The encouragement he offered was indispensable during the research and writing stages of this thesis. He also went meticulously through the initial drafts of this document offering poignant comments on content as well as style. My appreciation also goes to my secondary advisor Lindsay Whaley whose door is always open for a quick chat. His suggestions helped me broaden the focus of my research. Although I was ultimately unable to arrange the field research component of this thesis, the generosity of the Dean of Faculty’s Office and the Richter Memorial Trust Grant that I received from them assisted me in gaining a richer understanding of the current status of the Abenaki language. With the help of this grant, I was able to travel to Odanak, Quebec to meet the remaining speakers of Abenaki. From these conversations I was able to locate additional materials that aided me tremendously in my analysis. Many individuals have offered me assistance in one form or another throughout the unfolding of my research.

  • The Wabanaki Indian Collection
    The Wabanaki Indian Collection Compiled by Mary B. Davis This collection contains items from the Passamaquoddy Indian Papers,#9014 and the Abenaki Language Collection, #9045 Contents … Preface … The Wabanakis, by Nicholas N. Smith … Guide to the Microfilm Text Preface The Passamaquoddy Papers, the Joseph Laurent Abenaki Language Collection, and the Micmac Manuscript comprise the Library's Wabanaki Collection. Dated documents range from 1778 to 1913; much of the material is undated. The condition of all three components of the collection is generally poor. The Passamaquoddy Papers, which document the political life for members of that nation during the 19th century, contain many fragments and partial documents impossible to put into proper context in this collection. Using information from other sources, scholars may be able to identify these materials in the future. The Abenaki Language Collection consists of bound manuscripts (and one unbound document) in the Abenaki language which largely pertain to Roman Catholic religious services. They were obtained from the Laurent family, prominent in Abenaki affairs in Odanak, Quebec, after they had sustained a fire. Many of the hand-written volumes are partially charred, resulting in losses of text which will never be retrieved. The Micmac Manuscript is written in the syllabary (sometimes called hieroglyphics) developed by Father Chretian Le Clerq in the 17th century to aid in teaching prayers to Canadian Indians. The Reverend Christian Kauder later used these same characters in his Micmac catechism published in the 1860s. This manuscript seems to be a handwritten prayer book for use in Roman Catholic services. In poor condition, it remains a link to interpreting the styles and approaches of Roman Catholic missionaries to Canadian Micmac converts.

The series draws upon multiple disciplinary per- spectives and organizes them around the place of Native Americans within the development of American and European modernity, emphasizing the shared, relational ties between indigenous and Euro-American societies. It seeks to broaden current historic, literary, and cultural approaches to American Stud- ies by foregrounding the fraught but generative sites of inquiry provided by the study of indigenous communities.

  • Oregon, the Beautiful
    Ives Goddard and Thomas Love Oregon, the Beautiful enerations of scholars have had to confront two con- founding questions in their efforts to resolve the meaning of Oregon, “the most disputed of U.S. names.” The general course of the history of the name can be traced with reason- Gable certainty after , when Robert Rogers first referred to “the River called by the Indians Ouragon” in a petition to the king of England. But what is the origin of the word itself? From which Indian language did it come, and what did it mean? And what were Rogers’s reasons for using this name to refer to the goal of his exploration? Adding fresh historical and linguistic evidence, we build on existing research to answer both questions. The evidence we have uncovered for the origin of Oregon in the Algonquian languages of New England sup- plies the missing link between Rogers and a plausible linguistic source. We construct a scenario grounded in historical fact to explain how Rogers likely learned this term from New England Indians and applied it to the fabled River of the West, whose existence was rumored but whose name was unknown. To solve the mystery of Oregon, we must investigate the history of exploration by the French and the British, early maps, and long-forgotten Indian dialects. We must supplement the tools of historical research with those of linguistics and delve into details of spelling and pronunciation. The story we will uncover draws together Indians and Europeans, French and British, and West and East and provides a new perspective for under- standing the broader currents of the history of which it forms a part.

W is e m a n , P h .D . a n d M e lo d y W a lk e r B ro o k Published by The Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs This material may be reproduced for use in curriculum development or other educational purposes only. © 2 0 1 0 F re d W is e m a n a n d M e lo d y B ro o k 1 Introduction It is only within the last three decades that European scholars have shown any interest in the American Abenakis, thereby changing our perceptions of history and diversity within the Abenaki homeland. As a response, teachers, museum professionals, archaeologists and state officials have shown an increasing need for books, audio-visuals and other resources, conferences and coursework pertaining to the Western Abenakis. This extensively annotated resources list, is now made available to Vermont educators by the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs (VCNAA). It was first created in the late 1990’s and made available as an appendix to The Voice of the Dawn (Wiseman, 2001), then expanded and included as a part of the Against the Darkness video supplemental materials (Wiseman, 2006), then supplemented by Melody Walker Brook’s June 2008 Native Resources List. This attempts to provide in one place, a coherent listing by topic, of the current resources available to teachers and other professionals, although some, such as audio sources may no longer be available or now in other formats and published by other companies.

  • Native Language Preservation
    Native Languages Archives Repository Project Reference Guide REFERENCE GUIDE SUMMARY To share with future generations, this Reference Guide was developed in support of the Native American Languages Act of 1992 to assure the survival and continuing vitality of Native languages. This Reference Guide – Native Language Preservation, Establishing Archives and Repositories - was produced with funding provided by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) through an Interagency Agreement with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). Native heritage languages are indeed endangered and immediate action is needed to save them. Language experts estimate that ninety percent of the 175 Native American languages spoken today are at risk and could disappear over the next two decades. This Reference Guide looks at the complex matter of saving languages through an intensely focused lens of language materials preservation and it provides practical ways in which communities, people and entities can marshal forces, combine efforts and apply resources to this emergency need. In conducting this project and preparing the Reference Guide, the first question that needed to be answered was: What is a language repository? A language repository is a collection of language materials that is being preserved in an orderly and accessible manner. The second question was: What is preservation? Preservation is an act to prevent further deterioration of any kind to records or materials. The old lines between archives, libraries, museums and repositories are blurring, if not disappearing, along with strict distinctions between electronic and physical repositories. While types of repositories are discussed in this Reference Guide the focus is on language repositories broadly and on language preservation and archival issues in detail.

    Father Aubery's Liturgical Linguistics: an Ethnohistorical View NICHOLAS N. SMITH Brunswick, Maine The Jesuits' hundred years of successful experience converting Central American Indians established models for the North American missions that followed. Knowledge of the native language and the translation of the liturgy into the native language were important aspects for their success. In 1611 the Jesuit Enemond Masse spent the winter with the family of Louis Membertou, a son of Chief Membertou of Port Royal, learning the language (Wallis and Wallis 1955:16). The Capuchin brothers Eleazar, Felix of Troyes, and Francis Mary of Paris, teachers at the Port Royal Seminary, a school for Abenaki boys established in 1636, and the Port Royal Seminary for Abenaki Girls founded in 1641, were "quite familiar with the Abenaki language of those parts" (Lenhart 1916:227). Ignace de Paris arrived at the Acadian mission in 1641, benefiting from the linguistic work of his predecessors. He included the Penobscot and the Kennebec in his visitation and in 1646 welcomed Gabriel Druillettes who built a small church at Norridgewock (Comeau 1966). By 1647 there were a total of 12 Capuchin priests and five brothers assigned to Acadia (Morrison 1984:80). In 1646 Wabanaki were being encouraged to move to Sillery, and by 1676 a group of Rhode Island Indians had arrived there; within a year they were followed by Sokoki, Loup, and Pennacook. After the defeat of King Philip most southern New England Indians were forced to move to Indian Towns to become europeanized. Day (1994-95, l:vii) noted that large groups of Sokoki, Pennacook, and Cowassuck migrated to Odanak, many remaining there.

Malian’s Song – Abenaki Language Glossary Abstract The tribal name Abenaki is adapted from the original Wôbanakiak, a noun that combines the morphemes for dawn or white light (wôban), and land (-aki) with an animate plural ending to indicate the people who dwell in that place (-ak). During the 1700s, English, French, and Dutch attempts to pronounce Wôbanakiak or Wôbanaki resulted in many different spellings - Abnaki, Abanaki, Abenaki, Banakee, Wabanaki, etc. - that appear in colonial records. The most common modern pronunciations of Abenaki are the following: 1) Abenaki (stress the first syllable, and pronounce “a” as in “lab” and “e” as in “end”) 2) Abénaquis (stress the second syllable, and pronounce “a” as in “ah” and “e” as in “end”) 3) Abnaki (stress the first syllable, and pronounce “a” as in “lab”) 4) Abanaki (stress the first and third syllables, and pronounce “a” as in “lah”) Disciplines Anthropology | Social and Behavioral Sciences This journal article is available at ScholarlyCommons: https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_papers/152 Malian’s Song – Abenaki Language Glossary By Marge Bruchac The Name Wôbanakiak or Abenaki The tribal name Abenaki is adapted from the original Wôbanakiak, a noun that combines the morphemes for dawn or white light (wôban), and land (-aki) with an animate plural ending to indicate the people who dwell in that place (-ak).
