Trade Review'The thought and care that have gone into the definitions are everywhere apparent; of necessity economical, they are always lucid. ... The result is an admirable example of lexicography.' -- Richard W. Parker Canadian Book Review Annual 'This dictionary, the first to be published in over 50 years, is a milestone.' -- B.R. Johnson Choice 'It is therefore a real pleasure to welcome the appearance of this dictionary, produced by a team with both technical expertise in linguistics and dictionary making and excellent competence in the Blackfoot language.' -- Allan R. Taylor American Indian Culture and Research Journal 'A major contribution to Algonquian lexicography, a most welcome addition to the literature...It should have an honoured place on the bookshelf of everyone interested in the Western Algonquian languages.' -- Paul Proulx Canadian Journal of Linguistics
