Présentation de l'éditeur

Indians began as late as 1871 to question his conclusions, unless abundant facts could be shown to confirm the assertions of the critic. The authors life among the Indians was spent chiefly with a single division of the Dakota, known as the Santee or Mdewakantonwan. A few of the Teton words in his dictionary were furnished by one of his sons, Rev. T. L. Riggs, but most of them were obtained from Rev. W. J. Cleve land. The author, moreover, knew very little about the languages of those cognate tribes that are not Dakota, such as the Pouka, Omaha, Kansa, Wiiiuebago, etc., while I have lived among many of these tribes and have devoted considerable time to the comparison of most of the Siouan languages, having engaged in original investigation from time to time, as late as February, 1893, when I visited the Biloxi Indians in Louisiana. In order, therefore, to furnish the readers of this volume with the latest information, and to give more fully than was possible in those footnotes for which I am responsible my reasons for hesitating to accept some of the authors conclusions, as well as evidence confirmatory of some of the authors statements this preface has been written. In my notation of Dakota words, both in this preface and in the foot notes, the authors alphabet has been used, except where additional characters were needed; and such characters are described in the following section of this preface. But in recording the corresponding words in the cognate languages the alphabet used is that of the Bureau of Ethnology. All footnotes followed by S. R. R. were contributed by the author. Those furnished by his son, Rev. Alfred L. Riggs, are signed A. L. R. T. L. R. stands for Rev. T. L. Riggs, and J. P. W. for Rev. J. P. Williamson. J. 0. D. marks those footnotes for which I am responsible. LIST OF SOUNDS PECULIAR TO INDIAN WORDS IN THE PREFACE. The alphabet given
