FAIRBANKS - Sealaska Heritage Institute and the Alaska Native Language
Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have co-published a
dictionary of the Haida language.

Haida is spoken in two major dialects from the Queen Charlotte Islands
in British Columbia and an Alaskan variant from Hydaburg and Ketchikan.
The dictionary, compiled by linguist John Enrico, includes two volumes.

The dictionary presents vocabulary and examples of usage by dialect,
with explanations of word history and derivation. An English-to-Haida
index contains about 7,000 items.

The cloth-bound dictionary sells for $279. For more information, contact
the Alaska Native Language Center at (907) 474-6577 or fntla at uaf.edu.
