I wanted to have my own copy of Coos Texts by Frachtenberg, but unless I borrowed it through two libraries from the Univ. of Michigan or somewhere else, I was out of luck. Enter Google Books. I know have my own copy in PDF . Amazing. <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=g9NYAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Coos+texts+Frachtenberg&ei=ANu4Sqq3CYHENbeviNkP#v=onepage&q=&f=false">http://books.google.com/books?id=g9NYAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Coos+texts+Frachtenberg&ei=ANu4Sqq3CYHENbeviNkP#v=onepage&q=&f=false</a> I know some of you are a bit worried/scared about Google and copyright, as am I as an author, but... for
indigenous language research on old out of copyright books, it's been a godsend. I now have most every hard-to-get book I've ever encountered in my bibliographic research on Kusan languages and beyond. All free. All downloadable, etc. (No, I do not work or get sponsored by Google to say any of this... after you see the results below, you'll know why I'm telling you this)</div><div><br></div><div>My bet is that the Chinook resource in question may already be available online.

Han Mitakuyapi,<br><br>Perhaps there is someone in the world of academia who could digitize the dictionary so that all who answered, and those who aren't on this listserv, can use it.<br><br>I was fortunate to be notified by Patrick Hall that the entire bible in the Dakotah language is online. My family owns a copy but it is missing the first 60 pages so I was very grateful for this resource. It is amazing how much language is in the bible.<br><br>Tammy DeCoteau<br>AAIA Native Language Program
