About this book
In the mid-19th century, as the United States expanded westward, the rich linguistic heritage of indigenous tribes faced the threat of erasure. "Alphabetical Vocabularies of the Clallam and Lummi" by George Gibbs serves as a vital record, meticulously cataloging the unique vocabulary and linguistic structures of the Clallam and Lummi tribes of the Pacific Northwest. This document not only preserves the languages but also highlights the cultural nuances embedded within them. Ideal for linguists, historians, and students of indigenous studies, Gibbs' work is an essential resource for understanding the complexities of these languages and the identities they represent. Engage with this foundational text to explore the intersection of language and culture in a pivotal era of American history.
