5.0 out of 5 stars Blackfoot Dictionary, August 13, 2004

By	Laura Redish (Twin Cities, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a detailed and informative dictionary. It includes a pronunciation guide, Blackfoot-English and English-Blackfoot sections. (There is no grammatical overview of Blackfoot included.) The Blackfoot entries are in-depth, with various verb tenses and different forms of the same word provided.
