A signal event in the move from oral to print culture for the Cree
was Father Grouard's prayer book, written in syllabics and printed
in 1883. More than a century later, Demers, McIlwraith, and Thunder
reproduce the text, along with a direct English transiation, a
transliteration into the Standard Roman Orthography now in use as
well as in nineteenth-century SRO. Demers offers an introduction to
the work within its cultural framework; the translators together
discuss Grouard's use of Cree syllabics, which illuminates the
difficulties this missionary-pioneer faced in transferring the
nuances of one language to another in which he was an ardent
learner. Cree history scholars, linguists, and anyone interested in
print history would be well served by adding this influential work
to their library.
