Download Ebook A Chickasaw Dictionary, by Jesse Humes and Vinnie May (James) Humes
Chickasaw Press offers a limited-edition re-issue of the historic work by Jesse Humes and Vinnie May (James) Humes, in hardcover. The re-issue is the first edition of the groundbreaking dictionary to be published under the Chickasaw Press imprint, and is presented as a companion volume to A Concise Chickasaw Dictionary, a new title for this publishing year. The Humes work, first published in 1971, was compiled and completed after Overton James, governor of the Chickasaw Nation at the time, persuaded his mother and stepfather, Vinnie May and Jesse, of the critical importance of preservation of the tribe s language, which even in those days faced peril of imminent disappearance. For several months the Humeses worked on the dictionary, and although Mr. Humes passed away before its completion, it achieved a place in the Native literary and historical canon as an important and foundational work.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An Invaluable Source For Those Learning The Chickasaw Language By Linda Knorr Shafer A Chickasaw Dictionary, compiled by the late Reverend Jesse Humes and his wife and collaborator, Vinnie May James Humes, and other tribal members of the Chickasaw Nation, is truly a labor of love. Reverend Jesse and Vinnie Humes saw increasing numbers of young Chickasaws without a working knowledge of their native language. They feared the language might be lost. They made a decision to do what they could to help. In an effort to preserve the language, they compiled a list of Chickasaw words. This is not a conventional dictionary but rather a word list with pronunciations. The arrangement is English to Chickasaw, then a respelling to indicate the pronunciation of each word. Words are not defined except when there could be some confusion about the meaning of two similar words or homonyms. A simple guide to pronunciation precedes the list of words. This is an invaluable reference source for the Chickasaw language. "A Chickasaw Dictionary will be helpful to all who want a simplified guide to the Chickasaw language, both young and old, whether Chickasaw or not. 'Here at last.' says George W. Bourland in an introduction, 'we have a lexicon which will help perpetuate the tongue of our people.'"
