Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This is an edition and translation of an autobiographical account written in the Meskwaki language in 1918 by an anonymous Meskwaki woman. The writer describes how she was brought up and taught useful skills, and she talks frankly about her personal life, which included three marriages. The original manuscript, in the National Anthropological Archives of the Smithsonian Institution, is written in the alphabetic syllabary that the Meskwakis began using in the last decades of the 19th century. The present edition has been revised on the basis of an examination of the manuscript, and a fresh translation has been prepared based on fieldwork with Meskwaki speakers. Each line of the test is accompanied by an interlinear labeling and analysis of every word, and an appendix lists and analyzes every ending and ending complex. Copious textual notes, given separately, annotate details of transcription, pronunciation, and translation, including variant renderings and interpretations of different speakers and sources.--Publisher |
