Tribes presents dictionary to NMAI

Monday, 14 December 2009 13:03

The monumental 696-page Barona Inter-Tribal Dictionary was presented to the
National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA) during Native American Heritage Month . The dictionary is
comprised of thousands of familiar as well as long-lost words and phrases
aimed at assisting Yuman language speakers of the San Diego County Tribes in
revitalizing their traditional native tongue.

A revised and enhanced version of the original 48-page Barona dictionary
project, the expansive and updated edition contains a number of innovative
features such as history of the project, biographies of the main
contributors and a map of the language area.
