Description:'Michif' was the language which arose out of the early contact between the French and Indians on the prairie West. The language, part of the Métis tradition, is essentially a mixture of French and Cree. It is spoken today in a variety of communities throughout North Dakota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.The Michif Dictionary: Turtle Mountain Chippewa Cree is part of the linguistic heritage of the Chippewa of the Turtle Mountain Reservation of North Dakota. Dialect variations exist in Canadian communities, but there is remarkable consistency to the language reported here among speakers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.The dictionary is the work of Patline Laverdure and Ida Rose Allard, residents of the Turtle Mountain Reservation, with editorial assistance from John C. Crawford, Professor of Linguistics at the University of North Dakota."The strengths of this work derive from the authenticity of its authorship. The illustrative sentences provide a great deal of information about local customs and beliefs. The illustrations themselves are also a strength, since they show quite clearly and at considerable volume, how French and Cree elements combine and alternate in the language and should therefore be useful for students of the language.The work is intended primarily for speakers of the language and their children. It should also be of some value to the academic scholarly community, especially in the light of the growing interest in products of language contact." -- John C.
