O Brave New Words!

Native American Loanwords in Current English

by Charles L Cutler

This is the first book published on the more than one thousand North American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut words in the English vocabulary. Though little acknowledged, these loanwords are indispensable today. Readers will gain an awareness of the pervasiveness of Indian influence throughout North American culture - notably in the English language.
