The third volume in the First Nations Language Readers series --
meant for language learners and language users -- this collection
presents eight Blackfoot sories told by Lena Russell Ikkinainihki
'Gentle Singer', a fluent speaker of Blackfoot from the Kainai
(Blood) reserve in southern Alberta. In contrast with other
Algonquian languages, such as Cree and Saulteaux (Ojibwe),
Blackfoot is not usually written in syllabics, so these stories are
presented in the Blackfoot language using the Roman alphabet,
together with the English translation. The spelling system is based
on the conventions of the International Phonetic Alphabet, and
should be transparent for native speakers of Blackfoot as well as
for linguists. The Reader includes a Blackfoot-to-English glossary
containing all the nouns, verbs, adjuncts, etc., found in the
texts, as well as stress or pitch accents over the vowel or vowels
which bear the accent.
