  • "I'm Glad to Hear That You Liked M Y Little Article": Letters Exchanged
    "I'm glad to hear that you liked my little article": Letters Exchanged Between Frank T. Siebert and Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, 1938-1945 PAULEENA MACDOUGALL University of Maine Writing from his home at 127 Merbrook Lane, Merion Station, Pennsylvania, on 9 January 1938, Dr. Frank T. Siebert, Jr., penned the following: Dear Mrs. Eckstorm: Many thanks for your very nice letter. I am glad to hear that you liked my little article. I have several others, longer and of broader scope, in preparation, but they probably will not appear for some time to come. One of these is a volume of Penobscot linguistic texts, of which Dr. Speck and I are joint authors. The letter quoted above and others to follow offer a glimpse into the thoughts of two very different people who shared an interest in the Penobscot Indians: one, a woman of 73 years who had already published seven books and numerous articles at the time the two began correspond­ ing, the other a 26-year-old medical doctor. Siebert studied at Episcopal Academy, Haverford College, and received his M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, where he made the acquaintance of anthropologist Frank Speck. The young doctor attended summer institutes in linguistics where he encountered Algonquianists such as Leonard Bloomfield, Edward Sapir and Mary Haas. His ability in the field of linguistics did not go unnoticed at the University of Pennsylvania, because Speck asked him to lecture in his anthropology class. Siebert visited the Penobscot Indian Reservation in 1932 for the first time and collected vocabulary and stories from Penobscot speakers thereafter on his summer vacations.

  • Linguistic Variations Among On-Reserve First Nations
    SPEECH VARIATIONS IN FIRST NATIONS KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN ACROSS CANADA by Anne Laurie BA., Concordia University, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s of Interdisciplinary Studies in the Graduate Academic Unit of School of Graduate Studies Supervisor: J. Douglas Willms, PhD, Faculty of Education Committee: Lucia Tramonte, PhD, Faculty of Sociology Renée Bourgoin, PhD, Faculty of Education Examining Board: Mary McKenna, PhD, Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies, Chair Elizabeth Sloat, PhD, Faculty of Education Elaine Perunovic, PhD, Faculty of Psychology This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK September, 2016 © Anne Laurie, 2016 SPEECH VARIATIONS IN FIRST NATIONS Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which speech errors made by First Nations children compared with those of a non-Aboriginal population, and how the errors were related to a common heritage language background, age, gender, and English as a second language. Speech errors were determined by administering the Diagnostic Evaluation for Articulation and Phonology’s Diagnostic Screen in 374 kindergarten children on Cree, Dene, Ojibway, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, and Innu reservations across Canada. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques, and in particular logistic and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions. Results of the regression models revealed that the types of speech errors differed by gender, significantly favouring boys in four speech error occurrences. English as a second language was a significant factor and more prevalent in one speech error for both Cree L1 children and Innu L1 children, relative to their respective heritage language background.

  • Native American Languages, Indigenous Languages of the Native Peoples of North, Middle, and South America
    Native American Languages, indigenous languages of the native peoples of North, Middle, and South America. The precise number of languages originally spoken cannot be known, since many disappeared before they were documented. In North America, around 300 distinct, mutually unintelligible languages were spoken when Europeans arrived. Of those, 187 survive today, but few will continue far into the 21st century, since children are no longer learning the vast majority of these. In Middle America (Mexico and Central America) about 300 languages have been identified, of which about 140 are still spoken. South American languages have been the least studied. Around 1500 languages are known to have been spoken, but only about 350 are still in use. These, too are disappearing rapidly. Classification A major task facing scholars of Native American languages is their classification into language families. (A language family consists of all languages that have evolved from a single ancestral language, as English, German, French, Russian, Greek, Armenian, Hindi, and others have all evolved from Proto-Indo-European.) Because of the vast number of languages spoken in the Americas, and the gaps in our information about many of them, the task of classifying these languages is a challenging one. In 1891, Major John Wesley Powell proposed that the languages of North America constituted 58 independent families, mainly on the basis of superficial vocabulary resemblances. At the same time Daniel Brinton posited 80 families for South America. These two schemes form the basis of subsequent classifications. In 1929 Edward Sapir tentatively proposed grouping these families into superstocks, 6 in North America and 15 in Middle America.

  • 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.
