Legends of the Delaware Indians and Picture Writing (Revised) - Paperback
Details
by Richard C. Adams (Author), Deborah Nichols (Editor)
This collection of twenty-two Delaware Indian stories has long been sought out both by scholars and individuals. Beyond the lessons, the book introduces the richness of the original Delaware language to an English-speaking audience: four of these legends have been retranslated into the Delaware language by native Delaware speakers. Readers will find line-by-line translations that reveal the eventual transformation of a transliterated Delaware text into an English-language story.
