ABOUT THE BOOK:
The first edition of Peskotomuhkati-Wolastoqey Latuwewakon that appeared in 2008 was the result of more than thirty years of collaboration among Indigenous speakers, educators, and linguists. Now, an enlarged, two-volume second edition is available, with more than 1,000 new entries as well as a revised introduction and updated charts of noun forms and verb conjugations.
A massive undertaking, the entries for this new edition illustrate the speakers’ detailed knowledge of the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, and emotional environments in which they live, while sample sentences in the entries, taken from both oral tradition and contemporary conversation, present details of Peskotomuhkati–Wolastoqey thought and culture, personal attitudes, humour, and linguistic ingenuity. An extensive introduction also provides a grammatical sketch of the language, a pronunciation key, and a guide to using the dictionary.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
David A. Francis (1917–2016) was a Peskotomuhkati speaker from Sipayik (Pleasant Point) who served a term as tribal governor and later was Community Action Program director, housing commissioner, and language curator and translator at the tribe’s Waponahki Museum and Resource Center.

Robert M. Leavitt is professor emeritus of education at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, where he was director of the Mi′kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre for fourteen years.

Margaret Apt is a language and cultural preservationist of the Peskotomuhkati First Nation and a Peskotomuhkati speaker.
