Wolfart, H.C. (ed.), Winnipeg: University of Manitoba, 2003, x + 399 pages.Reviewer: John O'Meara Lakehead UniversityThe 34th Conference was held at Queen's University in October 2002. proceedings contains 22 of the 57 papers given at the conference. Since its inception the conference has been interdisciplinary in nature. It typically features papers on linguistic topics and a variety of anthropological areas, with papers on ethnohistorical topics and a wide range of subjects within cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology.Aubin The Algonquin-French Manuscript ASSM 104 (1661): Miscellanea (p. 1-18) discusses a late 17th century missionary word list, containing some 5 000 words from the Algonquin dialect of and their French equivalents. Missionary works are a valuable source of information on earlier forms of languages, and often contain words that have fallen into disuse, as well as examples of grammatical constructions that no longer occur in the modern languages.Conathan and Wood Repetitive Reduplication in Yurok and Karuk: Semantic Effects of Contact (p. 19-34) discuss the morphological phenomenon of reduplication in Yurok, a language of California distantly related to the languages, comparing it to a similar phenomenon in Karuk, an unrelated Californian language, as well as in the language Meskwaki (also known as Fox).Cook Semantic Classification of Menominee Preverbs (p. 35-56) analyzes preverbs in Menominee; preverbs are word-like elements that appear in construction with verbs to form complex forms that resemble compound words.Corbiere Exploring Historical Literacy in Manitoulin Island Ojibwe (p. 57-80) presents a valuable analysis of literacy in during the period 1823-1910, showing that speakers on Manitoulin Island made extensive use of written forms of their language during this period. Corbiere's archival research reveals many examples of documents written in Ojibwe, including letters, petitions, testimonials, minutes of meetings and others.Dahlstrom Owls and Cannibals Revisited: Traces of Windigo Features in Meskwaki Texts (p. 81-114) discusses a puzzle reflected in a traditional Meskwaki (Fox) story, in which the word for owl is clearly cognate with the Cree and word conventionally written windigo, which has the meaning cannibal monster. Dahlstrom sketches an account of how the differences in meaning might be accounted for.Darnell Algonquian Perspectives on Social Cohesion in Canadian Society (p. 115-128) contains the author's reflections on the significance of indigenous peoples' contributions to Canadian identity.Fidelholtz Contraction in Verbs and its Orthographical Implications (p. 129-146) discusses patterns of vowel deletion in that are part of the complex phonological patterns that occur in Mi'kmag, and proposes an analysis and representation that would be most useful for a practical orthography.Genee An Indo-Europeanist on the Prairies: C.C. Uhlenbeck's Work on and Indo-European (p. 147-164) reviews the scholarship of Dutch linguist C.C. Uhlenbeck, noting the significance of his early 20th fieldwork on Blackfoot, which led to publications that are still valuable today.Goddard Heckewelder's 1792 Vocabulary from Ohio: A Possible Attestation of (p. 165-192) discusses a putative manuscript vocabulary source for Mascouten, a dialect closely related to the Fox-Sauk-Kickapoo dialect complex. Mascouten is mentioned in early sources, but no examples of linguistic material are known to have been recorded. Goddard proposes that a manuscript vocabulary of some four pages found in the papers of Moravian missionary John Heckewelder can be attributed to Mascouten.Inglis The Deferential Evidential in Mi'kmaq (p. 193-200) discusses details of the evidential system of Mi'kmaq, a form of modality that is found in varying forms in other languages
