Excerpt from A Grammar of the Cree Language: With Which Is Combined an Analysis of the Chippeway Dialect

The American Indian, notwithstanding his long connection and intimacy with the whites, is generally contemplated by them as coming under the same description. The object of this work is to raise him from this degrading designation to his just rank among our species, and to leave an evidence for future times, when the people to whom it relates Shall, in the progress of civilization, have been swept away, that its mental powers were of a higher order than had hitherto been supposed.
