His study is concise, clear, and largely accurate ... an outstanding addition to the growing corpus of descriptions of Algonquian languages.' --American Indian Culture and Research Journal '... this work, which greatly increases the amount of readily available lexical material, is most welcome on both scientific and cultural grounds.' --Language and Linguistics
