North American Indian Languages

  • Herbert Landar
Chapter

Abstract

This checklist is based largely on contributions of the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, particularly the bibliographies edited by James C. Pilling, the Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico (1907–10) edited by F. W. Hodge, and J. R. Swanton’s Indian Tribes of North America (1952). These works should be consulted as a first step in cases where the present checklist fails to solve a given problem of identification.
