About the Author

Donald G. Frantz is a professor of Native American Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Lethbridge.

Reviews

`It compiles a wealth of information in a single volume, which, together with the previously published dictionary, is a welcome addition to the field.’
*Canadian Journal of Linguistics*

‘Frantz has addressed all of the important aspects of Blackfoot structure and in a way that is accessible to people who need or want to know about the language. His study is concise, clear, and largely accurate … an outstanding addition to the growing corpus of descriptions of Algonquian languages.’
*American Indian Culture and Research Journal*

‘… this work, which greatly increases the amount of readily available lexical material, is most welcome on both scientific and cultural grounds.’
*Language and Linguistics*
