Description
This recording consists of words and phrases elicited from a Hidatsa-speaking consultant. Some of the material is Hidatsa to English, some English to Hidatsa. The elicitations focus on prefixes and suffixes and are based on stories gathered by the researcher in 1939. Includes occasional discussions of details of Hidatsa social life and customs. The story in this program largely concerns Coyote.; The Hidatsa language is referred to on the recording by one of its alternate names, "Gros Ventre." This Gros Ventre is not to be confused with the Atsina language of the same name. This program was originally recorded on the collector's original tape 75, channel 3.
