A Concise Dictionary of Nakoda (Assiniboine) is a remarkable work that vividly captures the aspirations and visions of the Nakoda (Assiniboine) elders. The Nakoda language, also referred to as Assiniboine, holds an important place within the Siouan language family, with its roots in the Mississippi Valley branch. Spoken primarily in southern Saskatchewan and northern Montana, it carries the ethnonym "Stone Enemy," which reflects its historical significance within the Dakota, Lakota, and Stoney dialectal continuum.
The extensive fieldwork for this project was conducted between 2018 and 2020 under the guidance of Elder Wilma Kennedy, one of the last fluent speakers of Nakoda residing in Carry The Kettle, Saskatchewan. This dictionary is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the researchers, as it encompasses a wealth of valuable stories, colorful expressions, and archaic words that have not been documented in any known sources of the language.
Beyond a mere collection of words, this volume offers comprehensive definitions, standard spellings, and a wealth of grammatical information. It contains over 6,000 Nakoda-to-English translations, over 3,000 English-to-Nakoda translations, and over 1,500 sentences that serve as valuable resources for individuals seeking to master the nuances of word usage and diverse sentence patterns. Whether one is an aspiring learner or a seasoned language enthusiast, this dictionary of Nakoda is an invaluable tool for expanding one's knowledge and understanding of the language.
