The language of the Dakota people was first put into written form by missionaries who lived within and learned from the Dakota community in the Minnesota River valley. John P. Williamson (1835-1917), son of missionary Dr. Thomas S. Williamson, grew up speaking both English and Dakota, then spent most of his adult life as a missionary on the Santee Reservation in northeastern Nebraska. In 1902, he produced An English-Dakota Dictionary.

A companion volume, A Dakota-English Dictionary, by Stephen R. Riggs, is also available from the Minnesota Historical Society Press. These two dictionaries preserve the older language and remian the most comprehensive and accurate lexicons available. They are essential cultural and linguistic sources for all Students of the Dakota Language as well as historians, anthropologists, linguists, and ethnologists.

A foreword by Carolynn I. Schommer, a Dakota Indian and former instructor in the American Indian Studies/Dakota Language Department at the University of Minnesota, describes the historical and cultural context in which these dictionaries were created.

Great book for learning about Earth
Format: Hardcover
My son was asking different questions about the Earth and this book was the perfect surprise for him. He’s only 5 so he loved all the different interactive features on every page. We read it together and it was just the right amount of information for him to understand. 100% recommend for curious little minds!

Great Earth Science Resource
Format: Hardcover
We purchased this book to go along with our homeschooling Earth science curriculum. This book did not disappoint! Such engaging pop ups that really interested my kiddos. I’m teaching age ranges 7-12 and all of them enjoyed this book. I think the pop ups are something different so it grabbed their attention! I would recommend this book.

Fun Interactive Book
Format: Hardcover
This book is so fun to flip through. There's something interactive on every page. But the text isn't super engaging.
