Call Number: UWM Manuscript Collection 20 Abstract: 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, Ojibwe, Oneida, Potawatomi, and Ho-Chunk. 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 are presented in a bi-lingual format on
note cards. The largest group of materials can be found for the Menominee and Ojibwe
languages. The Menominee and Ho-Chunk 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. Link to this item directly | Remove from bookbagThe collection contains audio recordings created as part of the project.
