Subject: Re: dictionary

I work in an academic library, and one of our
instructors is looking for a dictionary for Swampy Cree/English.  If
anyone on the list knows of a Swampy Cree/English dictionary or any
other resource, I would be very grateful for any information you could
give me.

Thank you in advance,

 I have several dictionaries.  One by Rev. Fairies is available at the U of
M bookstore for about $60.00 but is hard cover and is English to CRee and
vice versa.  It's in the y dialect, but this poses no problem for Cree
speakers.  (I speak n dialect.)  Others are available at the Mary Scorer
bookstore on Graham.

As far as I know there is no (recent) dictionary for Swampy Cree, but 
there is a booklet with a brief glossary, stories by Beardy, edited 
by H. Chr. Wolfart, and published in Winnipeg as an 'Algonquian & 
Iroquoian Linguistics Memoir'. Information: dept. of Native Studies, 
Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2N2.

James,

Thank you for your reply.  I will pass the information on to our instructor. 
I 
did show her several English/Cree (y dialect) dictionaries that we have, but
she 
indicated that they would not be helpful to her.  I'm afraid I personally
don't 
know anything about the Cree language, so I am just trying to expand my search

for her.

I will certainly tell her about the item you recommended.  Thanks again!

Lynn Gibson,
Red River Community College Library

Subject: Cree Art Search

I am searching for books on Cree art.  Could you suggest any?  Need title, 
author, publisher (if possible).  I am most interested in Swampy Cree and the 
Chippewa-Cree, but would love to find any Cree art in books that show 
pictures, photos, and or drawings of their art.
Thanks!

Try the *Art of Alan Sapp*. (Not sure weather its Alan or Allan) Cree
painter. Paintings of life on prarie reservations. It should be in your
library.
