PREFACE 



14 



THE Tribes of the Abnakis, or, more 
properly, 4 Wanbanakki (people of the 
Aurora borealis, from Wanbanban), ex 
isting in the State of Maine, transmit the 
truths of the Catholic religion from pa 
rents to children, only by oral tradition. 
Rev. Edmund Demillier left a hand 
writing, containing a small prayer-book, 
which was a correction of the prayer- 
book printed by Rev. Mr. Romagne, with 
other additions. I have made use of them 
both, and I have spared no labor to cor 
rect them. But I found that this com- 



8 



pilation was not sufficient to leave 
amongst the Indians a standing form of 
prayers and instructions in their own 
native language. They needed a book 
to which they could have reference at 
this time, in which the spirit of infidelity, 
so widely prevailing among the white 
men, is endeavoring to find an access 
even to the red race. Many attempts 
made in old times to pervert them, have 
been renewed in these last years, even 
in this very year, not only by white peo 
ple, but also by some Protestant Minis 
ters apostates from the Catholic reli 
gion, belonging to the tribes of the 
Iroquois. However, they had no success, 
having not been able to make a single 
convert. 

The arrangement of this book is quite 
different from that made by Rev. E. De- 



9 

millier ; the prayers bave been distri 
buted under certain fixed heads, and 
new additions have been inserted, in 
order to render this volume more pro 
portionate to the object. 

But, taking under consideration the 
want of proper words and phraseology 
to express the revealed mysteries of the 
holy religion ; the condition of the lan 
guage destitute of grammar and dic 
tionary and the want of the substantive 
verb to be, by which (as Rev. John Eliot 
long ago observed in his grammar of the 
Massachusetts Indians), many words un 
der a composition become substantive 
verbs; it is not to be expected that this 
book should be exempt from mistakes 
and inaccuracies. 

There exists at Harvard College a ma 
nuscript dictionary of the Abnakis (pub- 



10 

lished in the first volume of the new 
series of the Memoirs of the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences), made 
by our Father Sebastian Hale. This 
dictionary is not complete, because, be 
fore being finished, it was taken away 
from the author, together with his chests 
and papers, by a party of English, from 
New England, who in 1722, under Col. 
Westbrook, pillaged the church and the 
village of the Abnakis, at Norridgewock, 
on the shores of the Kennebec. This 
manuscript has been always regarded as 
precious remains of Philology by all men 
of Science. The amateur of letters and 
the antiquarian will lament for ever the 
cruel death of Father Rale, who, having 
spent about thirty-five years among the 
Abnakis, was the only man capable to 
give a perfect dictionary and grammar. 



11 

But unfortunately, in 1V24, the Indians 
and Missionary were taken by surprise, 
by a number of English and Mohawks. 
Father Rale fell a martyr at the foot 
of the cross erected in the mission, where 
his body was found, hacked and mangled 
in a savage manner, and where it re 
mains buried by his beloved Abnakis.* 
So the dictionary of Father Rale will 
remain incomplete for ever. Being 
antiquated, it cannot now answer for the 
language used at present by the Indians. 
The rules of pronunciation, and the 
English translation of the catechisms, are 
intended for the convenience of mission 
aries. Therefore, I have preferred to 
overlook the elegance of the English

Indian Tribes of the United States, by John Gilmary Shea.

version, in order to give faithfully, as far 
as possible, the literal meaning of the 
Indian words. 

Should this small, work prove of any 
use to literature, as a contingent to 
greater works on the languages of the 
Red Race of this Continent, I shall con 
sider myself fully rewarded. 

Jiwe, 1856. 




RULES 

FOR READING THE LANGUAGE OF THE ABNAKI 
INDIANS. 

The language of the Abnakis has a 
similarity to the Hebrew, in the con 
struction and formation of words, in the 
use of prefixes and affixes, &c. The 
sound of the Indian words could, with 
great propriety, be expressed by the 
Hebrew alphabet, as, v. g ; the aspiration 
at the end of many words could be de 
signated by the tf ; the bh by the 2 ; the 
gli by the A; the M, or M, or M, by 
the D and % &c. But as it would render 
the Abnakis language unintelligible to 
persons not acquainted with the Hebrew 
alphabet, so this plan is not advisable. 
2 



14 

I have made use of the sound of the 
Latin alphabet, rather than of any mod 
ern language, because it obviates many 
difficulties in the pronunciation, which 
could not be prevented by the adoption 
of any modern language. 

1. Pronounce all the letters. 

2. A double consonant is to be pro 
nounced with double force of a single 
one, v. g., Peseco (one) ; pronounce the 
&lt;? as in the word miser. Messi (all) pro 
nounce the &lt;s as the Latin word messis. 

3. B and^&gt;, d and , &, tt, and let have 
little or no difference amongst the In 
dians, and often the one is pronounced 
for the other, not only by different tribes, 
but sometimes even by the same tribe, 
v. g. : the Penobscot Indians say Pam- 
paktarnawewine (pray for us) ; the Pas- 
samaquoddy say Pambattamawewine. 



15 

4. D before g is scarcely heard. 

5. Hk, Jili, M, M, have a very pecu 
liar strong aspiration, which cannot be 
expressed, because they have no corre 
sponding sound neither in English, nor 
in any other language that I know; 
hence it has to be learned only by hear 
ing. 

6. Teh has two sounds one as the 
English ch, v. g. : nitchi-wetchi (for which, 
or because), pron. as in the word church. 
The other has no corresponding sound in 
English, v. g. : Tclietchaque (soul). The 
nearest pronunciation is that of the word 
church, but with some more power. 

Y. The w must be adopted and pro 
nounced as in English. W followed by 
#, gives to this letter a very broad sound, 
v. g. : ivattawes-su (star), pron. Waa-tta- 
wes-su. Who, is pronounced as in Eng- 



16 



lish, except that the a has the sound as 
iu the word wax, and something broader. 

8. The final 0, when not accentuated, 
is not altogether mute ; but it has a 
sound to be learned only by the voice, 
v. g. : Kindgemusslsque (queen). 

9. Oo has the sound very like to the 
English, v. g. : AhiamihewigdmiJcook 
(church, verbatim wigwam of prayer), 
pron. as in the word cook. The Indians 
do not need this diphthong ; but, as it 
has been adopted in America at the end 
of many Indian words, so I have followed 
this orthography. 

10. Very often the Indians pronounce 
the nasal diphthong ua, very like the 
French, in louange (praise), v. g. : Ni- 
weskuanganohan (spirituality). When 
it is to be pronounced so, I have always 
spelled it as follows, uha ; hence Niwes- 



17 

TcuhaganoJian. The nasal diphthong oa 
has no corresponding sound in English ; 
it is very near to the French pronuncia 
tion of the word liohan (Card. De 
Rohan). 

11. The apostrophe ( ) between two 
letters, the first of which is a consonant, 
is a sign of an e mute, which some tribes 
pronounce; some do not. When it is 
found after n or &, at the beginning of a 
word, it is a sign that these two conso 
nants are prefixes of a personal pronoun, 
n of the first, k of the second person of 
the singular number, v. g. : N^ulam seta- 
men (I believe), from Nia (I), and Ulr 
amsetamefti (to believe) ; K^ulamsetamen 
(thou believest), from Kia (thou) ; 
N^etchi-Niweskum (O, my great spirit). 

12. R and f are not found in this 
language. 




Blessed art thou. O Virgin Mary, because of tliee was hon 
the son of Justice. Christ our Lord.

PRAYERS IN MICMAC LANGUAGE. 

Morning Prayers. 

The letter g before e, i, has a soft sound, and it must be 
pronounced as we do in the Latin words magi, genus. 

The Micmac Indians pronounce the letter k in two man 
ners the one has been explained at the beginning of this 
book ; the other has a peculiar kind of sound, broken 
as it were in the throat, and of which I cannot give an 
idea on paper. When the k is to be pronounced in this 
manner, I mark it thus (k.} Ch pron. as in the French, BO 
&lt;cha, che, chi, cho, chu, pron. as the French do in the words 
chandelle, Michel, chose, &lt;fee. If ch is suspended without a 
vowel, it must be pronounced in the same manner, 

Ph has the sound of a p bent to an aspiration, making 
the noise of an/ and h together.

We insert here the Lord s Prayer and 
the Angelical Salutation, in pure Passa- 
maquoddy language, as we find them in 
an old manuscript belonging (as we think) 
to Rev. Sebastian Rasles, S. J. Those 
Passamaquoddy prayers, given by us in 
this work, belong to the Kannibas Indians 
a tribe once living on the shores of the 
Kennebec, and at present in part extinct, 
and partly dispersed amongst the other 
tribes of the Abnakis. Although the 
Passamaquoddy tribe at present recite 
these prayers in Kannibas language, yet 
a great many of them say the same in 
pure Passamaquoddy language.

Baptism under condition in Penobscot. 
Kia awansis anda suguenepansiwane 



412 

nia kesuguenepanlel, &c. For the Pas- 
samaquoddy Indians change anda in skat. 

Version of these forms of Baptism. 

Tho.u child, thee I baptize (wash with 
water) in the name of Him who has a 
Son, and of Him who has a Father, and 
of the Good Spirit. The Micmac say : 
" In the name of the Spirit that has a 
Son, and of the Spirit that has a Father, 
and of the Good Spirit." 

The Montagnais add one to the third 
Person, saying : " And of one Good 
Spirit." 

NOTE. 

These forms of baptism might, at first sight, appear 
strange, and not without reason, as they have puzzled, and 
do yet puzzle a great many who entertain doubts about 
the validity of the baptism conferred in this manner. This 
question is continually proposed to us : " Have the Indiana, 
in their language, words corresponding to the following : 
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ? " Yes, they have them ; but 
to use them under that grammatical form in which they 



413 

are construed by the English, they would give a formula of 
baptism, not in Indian, but in English, with Indian 
words. The Indian form of baptism must be according to 
the genius of the Indian, and not of the European dialects. 
It is not our intention to make here a dissertation on lan 
guages, but we desire only to lay a few remarks, in order 
to vindicate a form of baptism, such as we find it preserved 
amongst the Indians made by their first missionaries, 
sanctioned by their successors, and which we do not feel 
prepared to alter. It has been already observed by the 
learned Mr. Du Ponceau, that the striking facts exhibited 
by the unwritten dialects of the natives of this country, 
call for important modifications on the system of a general 
grammar. 

The version of the Indian forms of baptism, although it 
is the best which we could give in English, does not ex 
actly represent the force and full meaning of the Indian. 
It is to be observed, that the natives of America do not 
confine themselves to a special word, in order to express an 
object-^-for instance, the Father. If a circumstance is con 
nected with the object manifested, they generally use other 
words, which are construed in a grammatical form by far 
different from the other languages. The Indian tongue 
possesses a prerogative, unknown to the old world, of in 
creasing the number of words to any extent, by a regular 
process of an agglutination of different words, or parts oi 
them. In this manner, with a single word they designate 
the person acting, and that acted upon, the manner of act 
ing, time, place, &c. 

The language of the natives of this continent does not 
possess, or rather does not need the verbs to have and to be, 
either as auxiliaries, or in the abstract substantive sense, 

35* 



414 

which they exhibit to an European mind. The names are 
neither inflected like the Latin and Greek, nor declined by 
articles, like the European languages, but they have tenses. 
They have no genders, every thing being classed in animate 
and inanimate. Their fundamental idea is that of exist 
ence, sum, es, est ; and this abstract sentiment receives 
body and forms by the combination with other ideas ex 
pressing action, passion, time, reflection, reverence, &lt;fcc. 

The Indians delight of speaking in concrete and not in 
generic terms. When they say, for instance, Father, they 
add the personal possessive pronoun, saying, my Father, 
your Father, &lt;fec. ; and they are so particular in it, that 
even when the name of the possessor is mentioned, they 
still use the personal pronoun, so, instead of John s father, 
John s book, they say John s his father, John s his book. 
Rev. Mr. Heckwelder relates that he was pointing to a tree, 
and asked the Indians how they called it, and they would 
answer an oak, an ash, a maple, as the case might be ; and 
afterwards he found in his dictionary more than a dozen 
of words for the same word tree ; it was after a long time 
that he found out that the Indians were always giving the 
specific and not the generic denomination.* 

The word father expresses a person that either has or 
had children, and by itself does not tell how many children 
he has or had, nor when he had them. So with the word 
Son. But the Indian word Wenemanit expresses the per 
son actu generating the son, one in number, and actu ex 
isting. The word Wenemiktankusit expresses a person 
actu generated from the existing father. Niweskwit means 
Spirit in substance, the same of the two other persons, but 
distinct from them by the addition of uli (bonitas), to which 

* John Pickering s notes on the Abnaki dictionary of Fr. Sebastian 
Rale, S. J. 



415 

prefixing the particle wetchi, they designate that this uli- 
niweskwit is not by himself, but comes from the other two 
persons. So with three words, Venemanit, Wemiktankusit, 
and Wetchiuliniweskwit, the Indians can express three 
particular persons, substantially one spirit, but really dis 
tinct from each other, and the manner in which they pro 
ceed. What language can exhibit all this with three words? 
Mr. Du Ponceau admired very much this prerogative in 
the Delaware language. He produced an example to show 
how these Indians, with two words, could express a sen 
tence, for which the French or English were obliged to 
employ five, and yet the French and English grammatical 
forms could not exhibit that exactness and number of ideas 
conveyed by the Indian grammatical form with only two 
words. He then asks this question: "To which of all 
these grammatical forms is the epithet barbarous to be 
applied ? " *

OBSERVATION. 

The particle sis affixed to a name is a 
diminutive, viz. Saksis, little James, 
Maliesis, little Mary. But if there are 
two names, and this particle be found 
affixed to the second, then it means son. 
It is to be remarked, that this particle is 
always affixed to the name of the father, 
and not to that of the son, v. g. Plansoa 
Mizelsis, Francis, son of Michael ; Sabatis 
Etiensis, John the Baptist, son of Stephen. 



444 

The particle que, affixed to a name, 
means wife, and it is always affixed to 
the name of the husband, and not to that 
of the wife ; thus, " Malie Thomawisque, 
Mary, the wife of Thomas " (the syllable 
wi is for the sake of euphony). When 
the particle sis is added to que, thus qiie- 
sis, it means daughter, v. g. Sesil Etien- 
nisquesis, Cecily, the daughter of Stephen. 
If, instead of sis, they place the particle 
peun, thus, quepeun, it means widow, 
v. g. Malie K tchi Nicolawisquepeum, 
Mary, the widow of the old Nicolas.
