This is a reprint of Henry Lorne Masta's important work on the Abenaki language, first published in 1932. Abenaki is a member of the Algonquian family and is spoken in Quebec and neighbouring US states. There are few native speakers, but there is considerable interest in keeping the language alive.

The Seneca language is a member of the Iroquoian language family. Seneca is a seriously endangered language spoken in upper New York State and Southern Ontario. This book consists of 3 parts. Section I, on orthography, describes a way of writing Seneca words consistently and without omitting features that are significant. Various spelling systems have been used, and are being used, for the writing of Seneca by missionaries, anthropologists, and the speakers of the language themselves. Section II, on grammar, is concerned with the structure of Seneca words. Section III is a brief glossary of the Seneca language.

A first reading book in the Micmac language comprising the Micmac numerals, and the names of the different kinds of beasts, birds, fishes, trees, etc. Of the Maritime provinces of Canada also, some of the Indian names of places. This book, "A first reading book in the Micmac," by Silas Tertius Rand, is a replication of a book originally published before 1875. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.

The original edition of this important grammar of the Abenaki language was first published in 1884 by Joseph Laurent (Sozap Lolô Kizitôgw), chief of the Indian village of St. Francis, P.Q., Canada. Its full original title was "New familiar Abenakis and English dialogues, the first vocabulary ever published in the Abenakis language, comprising: the Abenakis alphabet, the key to the pronunciation and many grammatical explanations, also synoptical illustrations showing the numerous modifications of the Abenakis verb, &c.: to which is added the etymology of Indian names of certain localities, rivers, lakes, &c., &c." Today the Abenaki language is seriously endangered and is only spoken by a few elders in Southern Quebec, although there is an active interest in its revitalization. It is a member of the Algonquin family of First Nations (Native American) Languages and is related to a number of languages spoken, or once spoken, in New England and Eastern Canadian.
