A Dictionary of the Ojibway Language

A Dictionary of the Ojibway Language By Frederic Baraga Item Number: 130 Description: The language of the Ojibway people was recorded by Frederic Baraga (1797 - 1868) a missionary priest from Slovenia, who was sent in 1835 by the Catholic church to serve among the Ojibway living in the Lake Superior region. The multilingual Baraga quickly learned the Ojibway language and over many years worked within the community to produce a dictionary, a grammar, and religious literature. In 1853 the first edition of this Ojibway-English, English-Ojibway dictionary followed in 1878 and is the version now reprinted. pages
