The project aimed to incorporate diverse linguistic varieties into the Arapaho ‘canon’ of audio and written texts, and especially increase the documentation of women’s speech and to contribute to a comprehensive grammatical description of Arapaho. It also contributed to the historical and comparative study of the Algic languages, including inferences about the early history of Algic peoples. The deposit includes a dictionary and text concordance containing grammatical information, text references, examples from texts and usage information. The analytical and cultural dictionary includes, in addition to English-Arapaho and Arapaho-English glosses, morphological analysis, etymology (including Proto-Algonquian and Proto-Algic roots), and references to a text corpus.
