The language of the Dakota people was first put into written form
by missionaries who lived within and learned from the Dakota
community in the Minnesota River valley. John P. Williamson
(1835-1917), son of missionary Dr. Thomas S. Williamson, grew up
speaking both English and Dakota, then spent most of his adult life
as a missionary on the Santee Reservation in northeastern Nebraska.
In 1902, he produced "An English-Dakota Dictionary."
A companion volume, "A Dakota-English Dictionary," by Stephen R.
Riggs, is also available from the Minnesota Historical Society
Press. These two dictionaries preserve the older language and
remian the most comprehensive and accurate lexicons available. They
are essential cultural and linguistic sources for all Students of
the Dakota Language as well as historians, anthropologists,
linguists, and ethnologists.
A foreword by Carolynn I. Schommer, a Dakota Indian and former
instructor in the American Indian Studies/Dakota Language
Department at the University of Minnesota, describes the historical
and cultural context in which these dictionaries were
created.
