Here’s the tenth pair of page images from Father Honoré-Timothée Lempfrit’s copy off of the presumable Modeste Demers original Chinuk Wawa vocabulary made at Fort Vancouver circa 1838-1839.

In our previous installment, we discovered 2 entire pages that hadn’t been known to Chinuk Wawa scholars. Let’s see what turns up this time around!

The 8th pair of page images from this overlooked document of Fort Vancouver-era Chinuk Wawa is quite a discovery…

More discoveries!

The 6th pair of page images from an unexpectedly important but long overlooked Chinuk Wawa document!

The 5th pair of pages in this overlooked gem!

Discoveries! I love it when we find “new” words in Chinuk Wawa.

Thanks to “Chinook Jargon” group (on Facebook) member Gabriele Barra for asking a question that pointed me to this overlooked old document:

Lempfrit’s 1849 dictionary manuscript…a couple more pages…

A document of Grand Ronde’s past that I thought was just a rumour, or was lost, has turned up, thanks to Prof. Peter Bakker.
