A series of Shawnee language books and Audio CD's emphasizing conversational Shawnee.

All the words in this book originated from these sources:

Major Denny in 1786 was collected from the Grenadier’s Squaw for

George Washington.

Albert Gatschet collected most of his work in 1880’s in three

quarto volumes.

Voegelin in the 1930’s.”Shawnee Stems and Jacob P. Dunn and

Miami Dictionary

Chrisley, Ronald L. "Introduction the Shawnee Language 1992. He

collected his words from the those above a few others.

After Book one I began adding the source and literial translations when known with each word.

Because Shawnee is not a written language, those who recorded the language wrote it down with different phonetic spellings. I changed some of the spellings to a more uniform spelling. I did not use linguistic symbols in an attempt to simplify the language to the common person.

I grouped words and phrases in these general categories of daily living. I selected words and phrases that allowed my family to speak Shawnee in meaningful sentences that could easily be incorporated into our daily lives.

From this, I wrote these booklets….

It is my hope that these booklets and others to come will assist you in keeping this language alive by learning the Shawnee language.
