Once one of the most well-known and feared tribes in the western United States, the Cheyenne have endured many difficulties since the arrival of settlers in the 1800s. This book discusses the Cheyennes intricate history, the tradition of their fierce Dog Soldiers, their prosperous and peace-seeking leaders, the hardships they faced as their lands were gradually taken from them and their tribes relocated throughout the United States, and how the Cheyenne have upheld their traditions while adapting to an ever-changing society.

Lexical acculturation refers to the accommodation of languages to new objects and concepts encountered as the result of culture contact. This unique study analyzes a survey of words for 77 items of European culture (e.g. chicken, horse, apple, rice, scissors, soap, and Saturday) in the vocabularies of 292 Amerindian languages and dialects spoken from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. The first book ever to undertake such a large and systematic cross-language investigation, Brown's work provides fresh insights into general processes of lexical change and development, including those involving language universals and diffusion.

This book provides an authoritative survey of the several hundred languages indigenous to North America. These languages show tremendous genetic and typological diversity, and offer numerous challenges to current linguistic theory. Part I of the book provides an overview of structural features of particular interest, concentrating on those that are cross-linguistically unusual or unusually well developed. These include syllable structure, vowel and consonant harmony, tone, and sound symbolism; polysynthesis, the nature of roots and affixes, incorporation, and morpheme order; case; grammatical distinctions of number, gender, shape, control, location, means, manner, time, empathy, and evidence; and distinctions between nouns and verbs, predicates and arguments, and simple and complex sentences; and special speech styles. Part II catalogues the languages by family, listing the location of each language, its genetic affiliation, number of speakers, major published literature, and structural highlights. Finally, there is a catalogue of languages that have evolved in contact situations.

On Wings of Faith "I'll be back for you Jenny, I promise." She looked at him through tear-filled eyes, still reeling from the reality of what was happening. Never had she felt so afraid, yet so sure of his promise. Time froze, but like a raging torrent, it took him beyond her reach. One moment he was right in front of her.and then, with her young heart breaking, she helplessly watched the boy she loved being led away until finally, she sank to her knees and wept. Five months later, Chris returns to find her parents' house sold and his precious Jenny gone. His search for her takes him to the sun-drenched beaches of California, but is detoured and then abandoned in the jungles of self-pity, fear, and finally, time itself.

But will her new-found faith in the God he wants nothing to do with become a barrier between them? Will she be forced to bury her dreams once again? "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14: 1
