Hymns in the Chinook Jargon Language by Myron Eells Pdf
Hymns in the Chinook Jargon Language by Myron Eells is about the hymns Presbyterian missionaries taught the Spokane people to teach them English with more ease. Excerpt: "These hymns have grown out of Christian work among the Indians. They repeat often because they are intended chiefly for Indians who cannot read, and hence must memorize them; but as soon as they learn to read, they sing in English. It will be noticed that often two syllables must be sung to one note, as in the first word in No. 9, nika is sung to the first note of "Happy Land," and in No. 2, in the first line, skookum is sung to one note."
The Chinook Jargon and How to Use It - A Complete and Exhaustive Lexicon of the Oldest Trade Language of the American Continent by George C. Shaw Pdf
A ready lexicon of interest to students and scholars of Indian languages. The work is the most comprehensive and exhaustive study of the Chinook jargon in existence to-day, comprising a complete grammar and dictionary, with nearly three thousand specimens of colloquial and narrative phrases, with English translations, etc. It is intended to afford a complete lexicon for the use of students and scholars, as well as an attractive and characteristic souvenir of the Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The Chinook jargon is the prevailing medium of intercourse between the whites and the natives, and is spoken by about thirty thousand people in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, and in some parts of Alaska.
