Collection contains records created by the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) participants in the Wisconsin Native American Languages Project
(WNALP), an effort to teach Native-American children and adults the native languages and
traditions of the Menominee, Ojibwa, Oneida, Potawatomi, and Winnebago. The collection
includes audio recordings, alphabet and syllable books, handouts, self-tests, songs,
stories, student cards, and writing and reading lessons, and worksheets. For each language,
there are lexicons or vocabularies. The vocabularies, which contain the English and Native
American words, are on note cards. The largest group of materials can be found for the
Menominee and Ojibwa languages. The Menominee and Winnebago records include the notebooks of
Ken Miner, a Menominee linguistic specialist hired by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
as part of a sub-contract made with the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council. The Menominee
records include a complete copy of Leonard Bloomfield's lexicon, as well indexes to his
work.
The collection contains audio recordings created as part of the project.
Most of the tapes are recordings of Menominee, Ojibwa, Oneida, and Winnebago words and
phrases. Some tapes include complete stories or conversations of the speakers. English
translations are provided on many, but not all, of the tapes.
English, Ojibwa, Menominee, Oneida, Potawatomi, Winnebago
