Long out of print, this classic work on the Dakota language offers
extensive information on Dakota grammar and contains a bilingual
selection of Dakota myths. Dakota Grammar presents three
interrelating aspects of language and culture, beginning with a
detailed description of the Santee dialect of the Dakota language
and its grammar. The texts of traditional stories, as recounted in
Dakota by native speakers, are accompanied by full English
translations. Riggs also provides an ethnographic overview of
various aspects of Dakota culture and history that enhances the
value of this book to all students of Dakota. A worthy companion to
both Riggs's A Dakota-English Dictionary (MHS Press) and John P.
Williamson's An English-Dakota Dictionary (MHS Press), this volume
lives on as an important source for the preservation and
revitalization of Dakota culture.
