[Transcriber’s Note:
This e-text includes characters that will only display in UTF-8
(Unicode) text readers:
ā, ē ... (vowel with macron or “long” mark)
ă, ĕ ... (vowel with breve or “short” mark)
‛ (glottal stop, shown as “reverse high-9” quotation mark)
In Linguistic Families article only (all infrequent):
χ (chi)
ʇ ʞ (inverted letters)
e̥ (e with ring under),
ż (z with over-dot)
In Sacred Formulas article only:
ⁿ ⁱ ᵘ ᵁ ʷ (small raised n, i, u, U, w)
If any of these characters do not display properly--in particular, if
the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter--or if the
apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage,
make sure your text reader’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set
to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. As a
last resort, use the Latin-1 version of this file instead.
Depending on available fonts, some lists and tables may not line up
vertically. Note that the stress marks, as in “Midē´wiwin,” are _not_
meant to display on top of the adjoining letter.
The three “Accompanying Papers” that make up the bulk of this book are
also available as individual texts from Project Gutenberg:
J. W. Powell, _Indian Linguistic Families of America North
of Mexico_ (pages 1-140): e-text 17286
W. J. Hoffman, _The Midē´wiwin or Grand Medicine Society of the
Ojibwa_ (pages 141-300): e-text 19368
J. Mooney, _The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees_ (pages 300-398):
e-text 24788
The papers are identical except that a few more typographical errors
have been corrected in this combined version, and some minor formatting
has been changed for consistency. Plates and Figures were numbered
continuously in the published volume, and have not been changed.
Typographical errors are listed separately after each paper and
after the combined Index. Bracketed passages other than footnotes or
illustration tags are in the original.]
