At a time when the Abenaki had little to no written documentation of their language, Joseph Laurent, Chief of the Abenaki reserve of Odanak, came forth to produce New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues. Intended to aid the younger generation in learning English, as well as preserve the culture and language of their people, the dictionary is an extraordinary achievement in linguistic and language education.

Autorenporträt
Joseph Laurent (1839-1917) was an Abenaki Chief, author, entrepreneur and teacher. While Laurent is known for leading the Abenaki reserve of Odanak as well as establishing a trading post in Interval, New Hampshire, he is most recognized as the author of New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues. Published in 1884, the book would serve as Laurent's crowning achievement-being the first dictionary to translate the Abenaki language to English as well as being one of the first literary productions of the Abenaki tribe in general.
