Yurok Language, Literature and Culture. Third Edition.
Parsons, Tom, Ed.; And Others
A vocabulary and list of important words in the Yurok language includes the history of a community project directed toward collecting and preserving the vanishing language and culture of Northwestern California Indians. An alphabetical vocabulary list presents English terms with Yurok equivalents in Unifon spelling and definitions in English. Names of 100 Yurok sites and geographical features along the Klamath River and the coast feature English equivalents. Other sections present Yurok words organized topically in six categories: number systems; baskets, tools, and implements; flora; wildlife; typical conversations; and frequently used expressions, phrases, and sentences. Three stories with literal translations complete the text. (LFL)
