Making Wawa: The Genesis of Chinook Jargon
No other account captures the key importance of Native customs or the role of women and demographic collapse through exotic disease in the broader linguistic history of this region. Replete with useful maps, accessible transcriptions, and a never-before published Wawa glossary, this study should be of great interest to Pacific Northwest historians and to scholars of contact linguistics, though its engaging presentation is equally accessible to the general reader as well. < Choice (Nov 2009)
